A collection is not just one basic idea. It comes from something that is in the air, something you suddenly like and put down on paper and then work out.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Collections aren't really planned. I just keep writing short pieces until I have enough for a collection.
What I can say is that there are some collections that come easily, and others that require more work.
When you start a collection, you have to push yourself to limits that may make you uncomfortable.
Collection is an addiction.
A collection makes its own demands. Many artists have been collectors. I think of it rather as an illness. I felt it was using up too much energy.
Always my collections are made of different influences.
At the end of the day, I want to create collections that, although I am inspired by very creative women, I want my customer to walk away with a silhouette that she doesn't even know what collection it comes from. That it just lasts in her wardrobe and makes her feel strong and confident and hopefully happy.
Personally, I have had sometimes moments where I thought my idea behind the idea of a collection - the concept maybe - something that we don't see at the end on the catwalk, I think the way it was, the genesis in my mind, was probably artistic, an artistic approach.
There are two types of collector, I think. There are those who are quite academic, and get into the archaeology of finding the earliest example of a particular idea. Then there are those interested in what's new.
Collections collect collectors. It doesn't work the other way around. A certain object misses its own kind and communicates that to some person who surrounds it with rhyming items; these become at first a quorum, then a selective, addictive madness.
