I brought a lot of images of pieces I got from my grandmother, pieces I collected over time and then we met with a designer and we tried to morph all my inspirations into one story.

Having a manicure pulls a look together. Hands are the first thing people see after your face.

My mum told me always to wear heels. If I'm not wearing heels, she says, 'What? You're in flats?' So whenever I see her, I make sure I have heels with me.

I'm European, I wake up in heels.

When I wear jewelry it needs to really mean something.

I don't buy jewelry just for the aesthetic side.

I first met the brand [Didier Dubot] when I went to an event for them on Top of The Standard. It was about three years ago. It was the first time I heard about them and then that's where I met them.

I knew I was in good hands [with Didier Dubot] and we could accomplish whatever I had in mind.

I had a strong identity in mind but then of course I had to trust Didier Dubot's expertise. They've been doing jewelry for so many years.

I have never done jewelry before so, of course, I had an idea in mind, but I needed it to be feasible and I don't really know about the materials, like what's possible, what's not possible.

There is no road, the road is made by walking.

I am intelligent enough to be critical towards the West and take what I need and reject what is bad for me.

I hate the idea that you have to give up anything. I think you can be powerful and still be provocative, you can be smart and have a softness, you can have all of it.

Do not suppress it - that would hurt you inside. Do not express it - this would not only hurt you inside, it would cause ripples in your surroundings. What you do is transform it.

Prejudice will fall in a combat with interest.
