What or who has been the biggest singular influence on your work?
Women, colour and life.
But that the reality Is that every clients and every person that have worked with or for me are important – for me has more value one normal client , that maybe has worked 3 years just to pay one of my dress haute couture or bridal , as she value and have understood the value of my work .
Iremember one client , friend of my friends , that after telephoned and recommendation , she wanted one dress of DannyWise’s haute couture , but she was specific that wanted my presence in the fitting ,”that usually I don’t do” ;well we agreed and when the dress was perfect on her , I told her ,looking at the mirror , ok now is perfect you can go out for your special event and enjoy … she told , me crying , now have seen with my eyes , DannyWise is Danny Wise , as “you make a mosquitos woman into a shine star” , now I can die .
I was so humbled but the truth was that she was seriously ill, and her last wish was wear one Danny wise haute couture.“I told her go and be happy, this happiness will make her life longer. “ Those kinds of clients are the real gems in my career.
