Take your balance

It’s hard to balance everything. It’s always challenging. I think it’s an old fashioned notion that fashion needs to be exclusive to be fashionable. When I was young, I lived like an old woman, and when I got old, I had to live like a young person. First I made a dress because I was pregnant and I wanted to be the most beautiful pregnant woman. Then I made a sweater because I wanted to have one that wasn’t like anyone else’s. I’m an accomplice to helping women get what they want.

Go to a place where you’re not going to be stressed, because a honeymoon itself can be a stressful thing. Nostalgia is a very complicated subject for me. I’m attracted by nostalgia but I refuse it intellectually. I’ve always thought of the T-shirt as the Alpha and Omega of the fashion alphabet. I feel that things happen for a reason and open up new opportunities. First I made a dress because I was pregnant and I wanted to be the most beautiful pregnant woman. Then I made a sweater because I wanted to have one that wasn’t like anyone else’s.

My customers are successful workingwomen. I have my permanent muses and my muses of the moment. I am like a freight train. Working on the details, twisting them and playing with them over the years, but always staying on the same track. My breakfast is very important. Women are women, and hurray for that.
