I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes, where a woman's personality and sense of self are revealed. I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.

I love a woman in a tuxedo, or in a dress, who looks comfortable, relaxed, happy. I'd love to dress Daphne Guinness - she has exactly that attitude.

I don't think women should look like costumes. I don't think they should look like fashion victims. I think these (clothes) are for women that want to look sexy. They want to look smart.

I think of my customer as a woman who wants to look beautiful and be able to walk.

When my mother did fittings for her clients, I was hiding, looking at these beautiful ladies try on these fantastic clothes. I was dreaming as a small child to try these clothes on myself.

I wouldn't look pretty as a woman.

I hope the average woman feels she needs practicality but with a little bit of fantasy. Otherwise, it's just not fashion.

I've never been naturally fashion conscious. I'm the kind of person who sees a whole outfit in a magazine, runs out and buys it but looks like a clown.

I'm not the most beautiful model in the industry, but I am for sure one of the most 'fashion' creatures you can find!

I would much rather feel comfortable and feel beautiful, than to feel uncomfortable, but look fantastic.
