If you're a designer, there's got to be some films that you've seen that have inspired you creatively. There's no escaping that.

If I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it well. That's just my character, that's just the way it is with me.

Film has always been a really good tool for me to communicate emotion about why I create a collection. I'm probably one of the first designers to make short films.

Tailoring was considered to be a world that was very traditional, and basically going out of fashion. Fashion designers did not have a real link with tailoring or tradition, so I fused the two worlds together.

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes a lot of hard work.
