I am not a designer that buys vintage to be inspired.

I've admired historical clothes like Victorian gowns since I was a child, and it's what motivated me to go into fashion.

I would love, just once, to do costumes for a movie. I almost did some theater, but it is very different from what I am used to doing as a fashion designer.

My mother loved fashion and always had a great aesthetic. But she also considered the cost of it, with the kids, that it wasn't something to allow herself. It also probably nourished my passion and my will to make fashion, because I've always felt that, because of having a big family to take care of, she sacrificed a bit of her femininity.

I don't like to go beyond modernity because you think girls might be like that in five years, but in five years what I see now is going to be old; we are always going to go somewhere else. You have to bring a few novelties within what will remain.

I see the city as an organism, shaped through time by the little humans having habits and doing millions of stuff in and out of it.

As a designer, I'm not a guy that can be put in a niche.
