I design for the woman who loves being a woman.
There's design and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature - if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty - but mostly suffering!
My favorite days are the ones where I deal only with my own team, design, marketing, working on the next accessories collection.
A challenging economy is always good for design. It unites necessity and functionality. You are forced to be creative with poor materials.
I design for the woman I wanted to be, the woman I used to be and to some degree, the woman I'm still a little piece of.
