My only fashion school was what I saw in the newspapers and on television
I start each collection thinking how I can refresh my classics.
Doing fashion drawings was the only way I had to express myself when I was a teenager.
I can not forget Melina Mercouri in black dress at 'Never on Sunday'.
I have loved corsets since I was small. When I was a child, my grandmother took me to an exhibition, and they had a corset on display. I loved the flesh color, the salmon satin, the lace.
When I started in fashion, I had already adopted the sailor-striped sweater as my uniform; that way, I wouldn't have to drive myself crazy trying to figure out what to wear.
