What's your favorite area in the office, if you had to pick?
"I actually like this area (the studio with the table) because it's empty and in a way, clean. You can imagine what happens here when I'm with five or six different mannequins and I'm draping and you see sketches everywhere. It's a slow process though. We're just looking at the beginning right now. I'm working on some inspiration stuff and things that inspire me like textures, polos, some movements... For me, it's definitely how I start. I love it and I hate it."

Is this where the action happens, where all your ideas come from?
"Yup! Everything starts here!"
