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.

Elegance is not catching somebody's eyes, it's staying in somebody's memory

Why do I put myself in a position to be cast aside or not considered as I would like to? Because I am a creative mind, because I still aspire to be one.

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

Elegance is not being noticed, it's about being remembered.

To create something exceptional, your mindset must be relentlessly focused on the smallest detail.

For me, couture is the kingdom of imagination, creativity and experimentation, and this is how I approach it. I do, however, remain pragmatic and realistic.
