War Taught Me That Not Everything Is

Modern Life Requires Us To Be More And More Flexible In Our Attire.

When I Was Younger, I Never Laughed. I Was Always Sour. If I Look At Pictures Of Me From The Past, I Never See A Smile. I Think It Came Out Of My Insecurity. I Had A Lot Of Complexes.

Clean Lines Have Always Been Important To Me, Both In Terms Of Interiors As Well As Fashion. For Interiors, I Am More Interested In Textures And Surface Treatments Than Bold Color Or Print - The Vein On A Wood Or The Shine On A Lacquer, For Example. I Know Immediately When Something Isn't Working - Usually It's A Question Of Consistency - And I Make Instantaneous Decisions On How To Remedy The Situation.

My Strong Sense Of Discipline Has Always Been With Me, And It Also Gave Me The Need For Deep Affection. I Have Never Been Satisfied With Acquaintances Who Are Superficial, Volatile, Or Quick To Change. I Have Surrounded Myself With People With Whom I Am In Total Complicity.

Accessories Are Important And Becoming More And More Important Every Day.
