I sensed that women wanted to be a little different. My fluidity gave them a way of interpreting their bodies in a more personal, individual way.

The confident artist is a fool.

I don't like women who follow fashion in the sense of becoming victims of it. I like women who have elegance, who have allure, who use fashion, rather than the other way around.

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.

My philosophy has always been to help women and men feel comfortable and confident through the clothes they wear.

Of course sportsmen and women are not only great role models, they are great fashion models too, as they are at the peak of physical perfection.

Our wardrobe needs to be more versatile, and, above all, it needs to be comfortable.
