It was always my dream to be a dress designer, and my mother accepted that decision.
As a child I wanted to become an architect.
I majored in fashion design in school, and I have always wanted to design my own line of clothing, jewelry, and stuff like that; so this was just a step for me in that direction.
Success needs to be measured according to the ambitions and the resources of each designer. And many aren't interested in being a megabrand.
Borderline embarrassing fact: I used to have a pseudo line when I was seven called Zizzy Fashion. I love clothing, and I would eventually like to design as well as act.
I definitely want to design clothes at one point.
I definitely went through a phase where I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was younger... But I certainly wasn't very good at it.
It may sound ambitious, but I really hope that modern design will spread all around the globe.
I am equally proud of all of my architectural projects. It's always rewarding to see an ambitious design become reality.
I love what I do and feel really lucky to still love what I do - I want to get out of bed and go to work at least three out of five days a week! My fear is it ends up any less than three days. But design-wise, I've still got an appetite, a lot more I want to say with my work - the story is not nearly complete!
I have always been interested in fashion and even contemplated being a fashion designer at one point of time.
I have known that I wanted to be a designer since I was 8 years old.
It is the rare architect who does not hope in his heart to design a great building and for whom the quest is not a quiet, consuming passion.
I started off as a theatre designer, and by some extraordinary circumstance I saw something in Stratford-upon-Avon, and realized that that's the kind of design I want, but also that that's the kind of designer I'll never be.
