I felt that it was missing. I am a very supportive person, and I love to feel comfortable in my clothes. I love tecno fabrics, and I wanted a better level of it. So I create a collection where you combine tecno innovation, tecno fabrics with very sophisticated natural fibres, and its performance meets elegance. That is the concept of the collection." She added, "This is a collection that you want to feel good in your body, but you want to feel good in your clothes, like a second skin. This is the fabric comfortable because of the tecno fabric, but it also the softness and fluidity of the natural fibres." Her love for sports, including hiking, biking, tennis, and golf, inspired the activewear line.
