My eccentricity became direction.

Always my collections are made of different influences.

I was lucky to have parents who loved me.

My only fashion school was what I saw in the newspapers and on television

I could say that making clothes is my way of communicating, because I was always so shy.

There are many kinds of beauty, and you can find it where you least expect.

I went to London a lot as a young designer because London was a major inspiration, not only for the clothes but the sense of freedom. I remember going to see a stage production of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" in the mid Eighties and loving the mix of Goth and humor, and in my shows I've always liked to play jokes and have fun.
