The purpose - where I start - is the idea of use. It is not recycling, it's reuse.

Beauty is like a sunset: it goes as soon as you try to capture it. The beauty you like is precisely that which escapes you.

Even when I work with computers, with high technology, I always try to put in the touch of the hand.

Well, what I'm doing is really clothing. I'm not doing sculpture.

I started to work with cotton fabrics. I used cotton because it's easy to work with, to wash, to take care of, to wear if it's warm or cold. It's great. That was the start.

By the way, Marilyn Monroe was a size 14.

I was always interested in making clothing that is worn by people in the real world.
