Very few designers today design - it's very important to be able to do your own sketch on paper and then explain [your vision] to the fabric cutters. Instead, lots of designers drape - it's the new way.

I am like a freight train. Working on the details, twisting them and playing with them over the years, but always staying on the same track.

I am happy that thousands of students, young designers and fashion people will be able to see and study my work in every aspect of it.

Unfortunately, the greatest photographers don't pay extreme attention to the clothes. If they decide to put a dress in a bathtub or in front of a cow in the countryside with dirt everywhere, well, the dresses come back... ready to be put in the garbage.

I know what women want. They want to be beautiful.

My title rivals are behind me but at the moment I am not thinking about that. My target is to finish on the podium and then well see where everybody else is.
