The aim of being a good designer is to have an influence. If you design furniture or lifestyle, you should influence the way people evolve globally. It's good to have an influence.

I am not a designer that buys vintage to be inspired.

I haven't made many wedding dresses. It's a dress very, very important for the girl; it's important to know the person, I believe, but at the same time it should be a shock to the person - the person should be shocked to be suddenly revealed. That's the work of a designer sometimes, to propose an ID of look.

I always like to preserve my freedom. I've never really been attached to any place; that's probably why I kept moving. I like to evolve.

I'm a designer, which includes interiors, architecture, fashion, furniture, and lifestyle.

I don't think couture will die. But it should have no pretension that it will conquer the world. It's not something that will disappear because all you need is a thread and a needle to start making something couture.
