The '90s were extremely diverse, almost like a laboratory of the new century. There was much experimenting around, in politics, economics, gender and family structures, and also in fashion. There was a cloud of possibilities which kept us all dizzy.
We look our best in subdued colors, sophisticated cuts, and a general air of sleek understatement.
I feel that things happen for a reason and open up new opportunities.
I sometimes feel that a pattern is almost a fashion statement in itself.
Initially, it was the unpractical in fashion that brought me to design my own line. I felt that it was much more attractive to cut clothes with respect for the living, three-dimensional body rather than to cover the body with decorative ideas.
I think there is always a need for pure design. With pure design, you don't need so much decoration.
