I don't really know how to do casual clothes.

I come from a very warm island, where colors are very important, very vibrant, and obviously the color has been an influence on my work.

My beloved Hillary, do not disappoint me. You have to be President, OK?

Working for incredible talents like Balenciaga and Antonio Castillo, I learned about the immense skill and creativity involved in couture work.

As far as preference between fall and spring collections, I have none that I prefer to design. With fall you have a lot more items, but of course I am from the Dominican Republic, so I love the warm weather.

There is no sound more feminine than a woman in a taffeta dress.

Luxury to me is not about buying expensive things; it's about living in a way where you appreciate things.
