Some couture collections have everything including the kitchen sink! Everything gets thrown on to make it look expensive.

I like the concept of dressing people. I used to not care whether people bought the clothes or not, but I kind of like it now. I wouldn't label that commercialism it's more like I do this work because I want people to wear it.
