I haven't made many wedding dresses. It's a dress very, very important for the girl; it's important to know the person, I believe, but at the same time it should be a shock to the person - the person should be shocked to be suddenly revealed. That's the work of a designer sometimes, to propose an ID of look.

In vintage, you want something unique and different, but at the same time, something that doesn't make you look like you dress like a grandpa.
