    ML: Can you tell us about your journey fromDenmark to Monaco, and to becoming an internationally acclaimed designer?
    IK: From a young age I worked as a model and I loved fashion but always knew my heart lay in design. I spent many years exploring fashion and the works of great designers – the colours, the shapes, the structure – as I had never seen such pieces in Denmark. Roberto Capucci was one of my early favourites.
