I feel I am a role model to many, not just for my designs, but also for the fact that I started my own company with the help of my two friends. I became a success story, and people relate to that.
When I'm drawing, I'm drawing with the light, being completely open and creative. I can't draw in the evening. I need light and I need warmth if it is a summer thing, and I need cold if it is a winter collection. The good thing is that I have houses to go to whenever I'm working. I draw according to the place.
I didn't even know 'Vogue' existed when I was growing up.
Fashion isn't interesting when it comes from an uninspired place.
Strangely enough, I really think that shoes are a communication tool between people.
Sometimes women feel uncomfortable when men stare at them when they try on shoes.
