Milan, for me, is a city of discovery. You can find some amazing gardens behind some great houses; I also love finding beautiful galleries and incredible shops, but you have to explore. And the food is amazing.

Brazil is not what you see but what you feel. Once you spend time here - a week, two weeks - you get in the vibe. It's really intoxicating.

I cannot live without art: it excites me, it challenges me, and it leads me to the next thing.

I'm not an artist. I'm a fashion designer of clothes.

I came to New York when I was 21, 22. I couldn't speak English. I knew I wanted to go to fashion school.

I do go back to Brazil once a year. I miss my family.

When a sketch comes into this three-dimensional form and everybody contributes, it's really fantastic.
