I think and hope I have changed the way we look at hats. They are no longer symbols of conformity but highly individual acts of rebellion. I am constantly challenging the perception of what a hat should be and what role it should play.

I make hats for lots of iconic people, and that makes my job very interesting.

I like hats that make the heart beat faster.

Fantasy hats give you the possibility to dream.

I always design the hat with the wearer in mind; otherwise, it's an inanimate object.

I do say I'm a specialist in divas. Name a diva - I've worked with 'em.

Royalty is completely different than celebrity. Royalty has a magic all its own.
