Elegance Is Not Standing Out, But Being

The Essence Of Style Is A Simple Way Of Saying Something Complex.

It Is Imperative To Create Luxury Products That Are Also Functional. My Vision For Fashion Precludes Frivolous, Fantasy-only Designs. That Said, Fashion Does Tend To Move More Quickly Than Interior Design. One Doesn't Change Their Couch Every Season As One Does Their Wardrobe.

Clean Lines Have Always Been Important To Me, Both In Terms Of Interiors As Well As Fashion. For Interiors, I Am More Interested In Textures And Surface Treatments Than Bold Color Or Print - The Vein On A Wood Or The Shine On A Lacquer, For Example. I Know Immediately When Something Isn't Working - Usually It's A Question Of Consistency - And I Make Instantaneous Decisions On How To Remedy The Situation.

The World Is Changing And So Is Fashion.

My Strong Sense Of Discipline Has Always Been With Me, And It Also Gave Me The Need For Deep Affection. I Have Never Been Satisfied With Acquaintances Who Are Superficial, Volatile, Or Quick To Change. I Have Surrounded Myself With People With Whom I Am In Total Complicity.
