I'm very proud of the people with whom I've worked. It's an amazing collection that just by happenstance happened.

Designers have told me that their collections are so me, but I don't always recognise it because if you ask me what my style is, I'm really not that sure.

All my collections are very personal. It's also because I'm so involved in making the collections.

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.

I am equally proud of all of my architectural projects. It's always rewarding to see an ambitious design become reality.

There are so many designers that I love, and I'm so lucky that I get to work with so many of them and sometimes spend time with them.

The same time I'm designing my collection, I'm also designing my store. It has to have brand awareness, an identity. I'm also designing the racks and the hangers, and juggling a lot of things.

Designers want their clothes and their shows to be absolutely perfect, exactly as they imagined, and there is a great deal of work that goes into doing that. Some collections can tell a whole story, from the first look to the last. The way the colors and the clothes transition is very interesting.

Collecting is my joy; it gives me great satisfaction.

I love presentations more than fashion shows. I love speaking to people and walking them through the collection.
