My collection proclaims a prehistory that never existed, which, in a non-temporal trip, gets enriched by all the expressions of life, from Mother Nature to the ultimate architectonic skyline. The human body itself becomes a motionless arrow of the 'feeling' of wearing; a tuneful symbiosis between sound and silence, never-beginning and never-ending. As well as being the creative who must discover how to affirm what I have been and what I will be, I am trying to locate that quite imperceptible note whereby the body and the dress have to be the same thing and yet never slave to the other.
