If it weren't for rock'n'roll, I wouldn't be a designer

I currently live in the Plaza in New York and I love it - all that history, all those interesting stories.

I had eight brothers and sisters. Every Christmas my younger brother Bobby would wake up extra early and open everybody's presents - everybody's - so by the time the rest of us got up, all the gifts were shredded, ribbons off, torn open and thrown aside.

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.

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.

We like to believe our fashion is growing.

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.
