Clean lines have always been important to me, both in terms of interiors as well as fashion. For interiors, I am more interested in textures and surface treatments than bold color or print - the vein on a wood or the shine on a lacquer, for example. I know immediately when something isn't working - usually it's a question of consistency - and I make instantaneous decisions on how to remedy the situation.

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

I like to think that I can introduce people to the idea of simplicity and elegance.

Working with Cate Blanchett, on and off the screen, has always been a highlight for me. She embodies the perfect combination of consummate actor and world-class fashion icon.

The world is changing and so is fashion.

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

Jeans represent democracy in fashion.
