I remember being mad about having pink and red shoes. I gew up envying other girls' pink and red shoes.

What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.

It's horrible when people are only interested in buying labels, because it doesn't bring them the happiness they think it will.

I always believe in doing new things and using new materials that I have never used or that I didn't like for a long time.

For me, art is about learning and about living with people. It's alive.

If I have done anything, it is to make ugly appealing. In fact, most of my work is concerned with destroying—or at least deconstructing—conventional ideas of beauty, of the generic appeal of the beautiful, glamorous, bourgeois woman. Fashion fosters clichés of beauty, but I want to tear them apart.

Seduction is a matter of feelings and people opening themselves. I don't think it's something tricky - it's being human. And everybody is seduced by something different.
