We're dealing with sophisticated customers. What's most important to these women is individuality. I have to create things she'll want to wear, no matter who she is.

My job as a designer is to make a woman feel her very best.

Excess is not really something I consider a bad thing; especially when you are talking about living.

Nothing is contrived. At night, the clothes should pour like liquid over the body.

I like light, color, luminosity. I like things full of color and vibrant.
