One of the most important things to me is to make things real, not have models who are perfectly groomed or clothes that are too perfect. It all has to have a twist because that's how people live.

No one is an inventor in the fashion business. Designers recreate fashion.

I saw my future. I pictured it, but didn't quite know how to get there. But I knew that I should never give up.

New York Fashion Week comes only twice a year, make it count

Off the court, I tend to stick to the classics, but I like to have fun with color and accessories. I'm from Spain, so colors are important for me.

I've never tried to do couture, because it's a whole different beast.

When I am in London, I think my favourite city is London, but when I am in New York, I feel it is New York. It is very hard to choose between the two.
