What we want is clothing we think we can fly in. That's why I opened the show with flying dresses.

Making them feel gorgeous and comfortable is my way of making women's lives easier.

The big room or big suite doesn't mean a lot to me. It is what the people do or don't do that matters.

Everyone wants to be young and skinny. This is awful. Curves are marvelous. Wrinkles are hypnotizing. Why not just be happy with who you are?

I think that because I'm overweight, [my] fantasy was lightness. So I project my fantasy to the clothes, and now all I do is light, light clothes because it's the one thing I don't have. That is why I'm too afraid to lose weight because then I might make heavy clothes.

It was not the story of design or clothes, it was the fantasy of women that made me want to work in fashion.

We are comfortable with formulas, but the best happens when the formula doesn't work.
