As a kid, I was always into clothes, but I didn't have the money to buy them. When I'd get my brothers' hand-me-downs, there was an energy in me that made me say, "I want to get my own things, to make my own statement." Somewhere along the line, that energy - coupled with my exposure, through movies, to a world I hadn't known - turned into something.

When I create a collection, I approach it with a cinematic point of view-I am not designing clothes, I'm creating a world.

Each day is an occasion to reinvent ourselves

Fashion is transient, trends come and go. I believe in style, not fashion.

It's the kind of clothes that mothers and daughters can wear, in terms of concept... It's not about age. It's about taste, and it's about lifestyle. I believe women of all ages can wear anything.

I try to design into a world that is constantly moving, and moving me.

I was very influenced by movies; I was very influenced by a world that had a sense of dream.
