"Usually as a designer you draw the garment first and then choose the material which suits the construction, the area of use and of course prevailing trends. But I am inspired and start from the fabric and create based on it. Sometimes does the textile have limitations such as size, defects or material composition but then it is necessary to adapt the design to the material. So the fabric gets decide what it will be"
