I have to say that the identity of a fashion designer is international today.

It is a very important matter, as a woman, to juggle everything... Your professional life, family, children etc.

Your body can be very female, which is something you can do nothing about, but then you can have the soul, the mind and the spirit of both male and female. The women friends I am closest to somehow have this masculine side to them, they shove their hands in their pockets when they walk: I love that side.

Sometimes in the fashion industry we come across some unfair rules, but no one is obliged to follow them.

I feel like a slave, and in a way like an artist, because I need to get inspiration everyday, from everything and everyone.

With the exception of lingerie and theater I'm interested in everything to do with clothes and perfumes: everything which is an extension of woman.

I think that there are so many women who understand nothing about clothes and they should try and understand themselves before they start putting on disguises: they should stand in front of the mirror for a day, two days or three, and find out what they have which is beautiful, interesting: what they should show: hair, neck, arms, or hands.
