I am not very good at reflecting. I am a complete perfectionist and always thinking to the next thing!

I am constantly looking to push boundaries with materials, bring in new weights, and work in fabrics unexpectedly.

I think the main thing over time is that you gain confidence and are able to tell your story better and stronger.

I do think there is a completely different notion to glamour today. I think modern glamour is more effortless, easy, and real. Moreover, I think it's about constantly challenging classical ideas by bringing in unexpected and different elements; for example a long, elegant evening skirt paired with a simple t-shirt on the red carpet. I think this approach is the future.

Fashion, art, and architecture are all so tightly connected; I think the way to approach referencing these art works is by capturing the essence.

I feel like I've gone through stages with the industry; when I first started showing it was during the time of the recession, the economical situation meant fashion was suffering. But now the fashion business is back and booming, and I think it just encourages me to constantly set myself bigger and bigger challenges and reach new goals.

The definite link between all the women who wear my designs is that they are strong, independent, and with their own opinions.
