A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.

I was struggling to find a way to make evening clothes more deconstructed. I like to think that I translated the Latin concept in a more modern way. I don't think that I was that literal.

I do think I know more about clothes than any 500 designers, because there's nothing like wearing them. You buy them, you study them, and you start to understand how they're crafted.

My mother is the reason I'm in fashion. She worshiped it. Unfortunately, she infected me.

Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.

The expression a woman wears on her face is far more important than the clothes she wears on her back.
