My father was a tailor, my mother a machinist.

Tailoring was considered to be a world that was very traditional, and basically going out of fashion. Fashion designers did not have a real link with tailoring or tradition, so I fused the two worlds together.

I like having a tailor everywhere because I am everywhere.

My parents had a factory, so I was linked to the textile and fashion industry.

I travel a lot, and I hunt for fabrics, then I have the tailor make me something.

When I was young I had an apprenticeship as an engineer.

I wanted to be a set designer when I was young.

I wanted to be a fashion designer.

I always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of 12.
