At the age of five, I had collected close to one hundred paper dolls of people. I cut out the dolls from sheets of paper and clothed them with pretty clothes and trinkets, and imagined the lives of the different characters.

I remember one day, I was sent to the supermarket with my mother 's purse to buy some food, and I bought a paper doll with the change. I was supposed to return the change to my mother ...

Later when I grew up and had a career as a fashion designer, I laughed at myself still cutting and pasting imagery from magazines for my work, just as I did while I was playing with my childhood paper dolls.
