I am very lucky because I am realizing my childhood dreams, and after presenting my shows it's like a party.

I have always been drawn to designing fashions that are rebellious, like black leather jackets on suburban kinds, a corset dress, punk, blue jeans. I love that. Fashion changes all the time, and what is considered extreme or elegant or luxurious (or not luxurious) is changing all the time.

My eccentricity became direction.

You see me, I wanted to be fashion designer. I became fashion designer. So I think that everything is possible.

It's good that there is more support of diversity but there is still a lot of resistance. I never saw it as fighting for a cause, though, for me it was spontaneous, I was doing what felt natural to me. I felt a part of it. I have always been attracted to what is new, interesting, funny, creative, the good things that were happening at that time in the world.

Fashion is not art. Never.

I can not forget Melina Mercouri in black dress at 'Never on Sunday'.
