Accessories are important and becoming more and more important every day.

Elegance doesn’t mean being noticed, it means being remembered

Today we no longer live in a way that is constrained by simple working or leisure environments - we travel, we work on laptops in coffee shops, we go out to dinner straight from work.

The difference between style and fashion is quality.

Anyone who is passionate about what they do will have a better chance of connecting with future generations than those who simply follow transient trends. At least their work will have a distinctive character, and this is what people respond to, I believe.

I design for real people. I think of our customers all the time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that are not practical.

I was an observer. I liked to listen rather than openly express myself. This trait is something that I've retained over the years.
