My relationship with religion is very strong because it was my hope, and it gave me two things very important in my life. It gave me the belief and it gave me a point to reach: Don't do something bad to the people next to you.

I come from a very poor family, with sisters. I never really knew my father, so I miss this strong image of a man in my life.

I love art and music more than I love fashion, to be honest.

In the beginning I didn't want to do a menswear collection. It felt a little forced. And then I found that it was an amazing world.

I can give a beautiful present, and that may change the lives of people around me.

When I started at 9, I was working with plaster. I worked with a florist. It was a little illegal for kids to work. They would give you tips because they couldn't really give you wages.

Black is always elegant. It is the most complete colour in the whole world, made of all the colours in the palette.
