AS MY WORK EVOLVES THROUGH THE YEARS THE THREAD THAT REMAINS THE SAME IS THAT IT IS CLEAR WHO THE DESIGNER IS OF THE CLOTHING NO MATTER WHAT THE SEASON OR THE YEAR OR THE FASHION TREND.
I FEEL STRONGLY THAT INVENTION AND DESIGN GO HAND IN HAND AND THAT THE DESIGN SHOULD FUNCTION AND HAVE TIMELESS APPEAL AND THAT IS REALLY THE DEFINITION OF MODERN.

WHEN SOMEONE FEELS GOOD, THEY LOOK GOOD AND THAT IS WHAT MAKES GOOD FASHION DESIGN SUCCESSFUL.
