“I like architectural shapes. You can’t put any shape on any body, except on the runway. In reality, it has to look and feel flattering.”

My work is always very geometric.

My engineer dad is where my technical acumen comes from. I remember him taking me to the factories to see how what works.

I remember an old Singer sewing machine at home that belonged to my grandmother. It had a pedal. My mom taught me how to use it when I was 12 years old. I used to find it so intriguing, how a flat piece of material could be made into an object that had so many uses.

My mom has given me my sense of style. She has taught me how individual style is so beautiful, what you appreciate on someone else might not be good for you. For her, style is all about being comfortable, and she has an innate sense of sophisticated style.

Birds themselves are so interesting and intelligent, and they give so many cues without being verbal, so they say such great things.

I hope to grow another head and two more hands, like an Indian goddess.
