I really admire a woman for her intelligence, her personality. Beauty is not enough.

My dream, maybe because of my family, of course, was to be a painter. I chose in one moment the direction of textiles; from textiles I went to fashion.

Today, I'm very happy about myself, because I realized my dreams. I learned how to understand what people want.

There is a real vulgarity in the way women dress at the moment. They show off too much and try too hard. They don't understand where the line is between sexy and vulgar. I know where that line is.

I began to speak well at a very advanced age - 15, 16, 17 years old. It was psychological: the trauma of war, my family and growing up on my own. I was more or less a street kid.

I tried immediately to have a baby because I was so afraid not to have a baby in my life.

I would like the people that buy my clothes to understand that for me it’s one small piece of art.
