It's very lean and very easy and very uncomplicated.
art inspiration creativity
The '70s were full of creativity. Everybody was so unique. It was a very creative period, and I think to be a designer you have to know a little about art and literature and music because there is inspiration in all of these things. You're looking for beauty but also something that makes sense.
changed favourites
There isn't a book that has changed me, but I have favourites such as 'Pride and Prejudice' which I often re-read.

I always remember my childhood house with happy memories. There was a beautiful garden, and outside my bedroom window was a jasmine vine which would open in the evenings, giving off a divine scent.

It is difficult to read the reviews when you start because you see something in your collection and the press sees something else. That is when you have to be very strong about your own style. They can say whatever they want, but I do what I do because I love it.

You have to have a full-length mirror in your house so you can see what is missing and what you have to add to your look.

In anything you do, it's important to have your own personality there.
