How would you describe your design style?
 I am best known for my couture evening gowns and wedding dresses. That being said, my design style or paradigm, if you will, has been described most often as avant-garde. I personally never felt that way because it tends to typecast me a bit. However, I can see how people can come to that conclusion when observing the complexity and detail that goes into some of my pieces. The more complicated and unique, the better, from my point of view.  Nothing gives me more delight than creating something that defies what people expect or defies their sense of what can be–in a good way, of course.
