Through fashion I have shown my interpretation of the competitive spirit by dressing sportsmen and women, choosing to work with both those who are among the world's most renowned athletes and also those who are yet to achieve fame in the arena of sport.

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 goal I seek is to have people refine their style through my clothing without having them become victims of fashion.

Elegance is not to be noticed, but to be remembered.

I've always worked. I have always been too responsible. But I don't know how to live any other way. I think that this discipline was also demanded of me by my work.

I wanted to dress the woman who lives and works, not the woman in a painting.

I've always had a great interest in sports that embody the values of commitment, hard work and teamwork - all values I strongly believe in.
