I always design my own hats to complete my fashion thought....I like them slightly mad, like this huge black poppy. Right now I lift the bosom high on coats and dresses...I am using so many high curved belts.

Online media is increasingly influential in fashion.

I think the greatest reward I have is getting up and going to work each day. I love what I do.

The qualities I most admire in women are confidence and kindness.

I always tell this story: When I started, the woman went to the store to buy a dress. She saw it in pink and red, and then she remembered that the husband, who is probably going to pay for the dress, loves it in pink. So she buys the pink. Today, the same woman goes to the store and remembers the husband likes pink, and she buys the red.

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.
