"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"

Art of dressing is a personal sense of expression and individuality that no one can take from us.
We don't dress up to feel pretty we dress because clothes give us a sense of feeling incredibly smart powerful and driven. Therefore brains should always be above beauty. Today clothing is about being strong and assured of who we are.
Being a woman today is sort of like what my college professor said,
"It's like being a cyclist in a city where all the cars represent men. You’re said to be able to share the road equally with cars, but that’s not how it goes. The roads are constructed for cars and you spend a great deal of physical and mental energy being defensive and trying not to get hurt. Some of the cars want you to get hurt. They think you don’t have any place on the road at all. And if you do get hurt by a car, everyone makes excuses that it’s your mistake."
On the contrary, We don't want to contend with men we only desire to be acknowledged. Simply remember that without a woman, there's no completion.
