I was an observer. I liked to listen rather than openly
express myself. This trait is something that I've retained over the years.
Why do I put myself in a position to be cast aside or not
considered as I would like to? Because I am a creative mind, because I still
aspire to be one.
There are so many things to take into account - your
ambition, your ego, the press, the consumers. You can never be sure that you'll
be on top of the pile again.
I design for real people. I think of our customers all the
time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that
are not practical.
