I like spending time at home. In Paris, people drop by and have a bite to eat, or they drop by and watch Friends on TV. I take my dog to the office there, and I walk to work sometimes.

I used to buy good shoes, now I buy good bags. They make me feel more confident.

I'm not good at hiding my feelings. I'm also not good at lying. I'm very open about everything.

I think when I started to get in shape and spend time at the gym, I could be better to other people and be better to myself and get back to loving fashion and experience it myself. I started to wear kilts and lace dresses.

I don't think there is ever a wrong time for a polka dot.

I love to design for women, it's really open and very free. I always think of my friends. I think of both fictitious characters, real people from the past and the present. I am not a woman, but I find women so beautiful and so fascinating.

One thing that is exciting about fashion is the surprise element. People don't know what they want. They just know when they see it.
