You know I started an orphanage so totally by accident. A lady came to me and asked me if I would, I will help her and we start it with little school and then I fell in love with it.

The most important beauty is not that with which you were born, but the beauty of character which grows through a woman's life and maybe never stops growing.

I do not have one theme for each season, I just try to make beautiful clothes all year round.

I have always felt my role as a designer is to do the very best I can for a woman to make her look her best. Fashion is only fashion once a woman puts it on.

Women are born free, and I think that they should stay that way.

I adore gardening, and whenever I have time off, that is my passion.

Work hard. Believe in yourself. It's not the publicity that sells the clothes, it's the woman.
