"For a garment to have a structural silhouette when worn by a model the pattern has to be three-dimensional. To properly put down the picture that I see in my head, I draw sketches, make a pattern with cotton cloth, do more sketches, then cut the final pattern. This process has to be repeated over and over again. Only when the garment that I wanted is finally produced do I feel at peace. It's the kind of meditative peace that comes when you see a work of architecture whose perfectly geometric structure blends beautifully with its natural setting."
