I have my own judge in me....and he`s always judging me.

I was on a Japanese designers' pedestal - considered a maestro. My design was getting closer to a couturier's work, and I felt like I was missing something.

A pair of brilliantly cut cotton trousers can be more beautiful than a gorgeous silk gown.

I'm going to create a very strong scent which can kill a boy!

My role in all of this is very simple. I make clothing like armor. My clothing protects you from unwelcome eyes.

Black is modest and arrogant at the same time.

Fashion sighs after trends. I want timeless elegance. Fashion has no time. I do. I say: Hello Lady, how can I help you? Fashion has no time to even ask such a question, because it is constantly concerned with finding out: What will come next? It is more about helping women to suffer less, to attain more freedom and independence.
