I brought a lot of my own pieces of clothes to the design room when I first met with the design team just so they could see what my style was like.

I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. I think I'd throw myself into whatever I'm doing now. It's not about abandoning what I was doing before or giving up. It's about knowing that if I die tomorrow I lived the way I wanted to.

I don't set goals. Like that's what I want to be doing however many years from now. I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance that's what I'd do. Or design clothes.

I design some of my own clothes now.

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 used to design for my body which was flat-chested with big hips. That's why my clothes were tight on top with full skirts.

After working with clothes for so long it seemed right to design them.

They say that the best furniture and clothing design from the '50s and '60s is Scandinavian or Milanese.

I'm not a size 0 and I'm nowhere close to it. But I don't want anyone to know what I am so I like to design clothes so you don't know what's going on under there.

I majored in fashion design in school and I have always wanted to design my own line of clothing jewelry and stuff like that so this was just a step for me in that direction.
