“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

    I’m inspired everywhere, everyday… I love classic looks but am open to new trends… When I design bags I like to keep a classic element with fun and fresh fabric combos… something that won’t go out of style next season, something you can wear everyday, dress it up-dress it down… That’s my fashion sense. :-)

    I’ll add that I’m completely in love with fashion Icons, Coco Chanel, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn… all classy gals. <3

    I get my fashion inspiration from TV, books, magazines, nature, etc. I think it comes from everything.
