The very, very first thing that I wanted was to make a living - be independent and have a job. It might have come later, that kind of reaction to the boringness of fashion.

For something to be beautiful it doesn’t have to be pretty.

The more people that are afraid when they see new creation, the happier I am.

There are no limits - I endeavor to make clothes that didn't exist before.

Fashion is not art. The aims of fashion and art are different and there is no need to compare them.

What's good about many people liking the work is that when I want to collaborate or am interested in the synergy of artists working together, nobody ever says no to me when I ask to work with them.

I started with wanting to think about witches, about strong women who have special powers - who are often misunderstood. Then I found some beautiful blue fabric, so I made Blue Witches. My creative process is always like that. Organic, text, theme, subtext, each day evolving and trying to make strong, beautiful clothes. It's that simple.
