War taught me that not everything is glamorous.
I believe that style is the only real luxury,that is really desirable
The world is changing and so is fashion.
The essence of style is a simple way of saying something complex.
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.
The secret is to remain true to your aesthetic vision, so that people can see that you really believe passionately in what you are doing. That way, they can relate to your style. At the same time, you experiment-you try new things.
