It's sometimes said that I'm rebellious and I do things to push people's buttons, but I just like the challenge.

I value very much the time before the show, when there is nothing else but to concentrate on the show, and it's just purely design.

Luxury is about pleasing yourself, not dressing for other people

Both my partner and I did not get into cooking so that we could wear ugly chef's coats and stuff. We dress sexy in the kitchen.

I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting.

What's worked for me is not quitting and being passionate about what I do and not giving up - and when I don't believe in myself, turning to others who believe in me.

It just seemed too weird to me. I don't know, maybe they were smoking a joint in the car downstairs from their parents' apartment. I had to go that far to put together a scenario of how they could have possibly recognized me.
