“I design clothes because I don’t want women to look all innocent and naïve.
I want women to look stronger. I don’t like women to be taken advantage of.
I don’t like men whistling at women in the street, I think they deserve more respect.
I like men to keep their distance from women, I like men to be stunned by an entrance.
I’ve seen a woman get nearly beaten to death by her husband.
I know what misogyny is. I want people to be afraid of the women I dress.”
