Read excerpts from the interview;
On the difference between a designer and a tailor:
“It is a tricky question. To me, a designer is someone who creates while a tailor is someone who helps them bring their vision to life. One person can also be both. Not all designers know how to sew, but some tailors have grown to become designers.”
On trends by celebs that irk her:
“I won’t call it a fashion mistake, but I hate to see lace wig. It is nothing personal.”
On ladies showing too much decolletage:
“One at a time. You can’t expose both. In any case, just go for what suits you.”
On design ideas:
“I am a deep thinker, I also like to think outside the box. If you have seen my designs, there is something you go back home with, it is unique.”
On her children going into the fashion business:
“Oh yes. I would like to keep the legacy. All parents want the best for their kids, and if this is what makes any of them happy, why not?”
