After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’

To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.

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

My dream is to be a doctor. I'm almost working in a laboratory, because I'm trying new techniques, new directions and fabrics, new weaving.

Almost every collection I do has 200 different references. I don't have two of the same coat, two of the same dress. I have it in one color, in one fabric. I've tried to adapt the culture of couture, and the know-how and the heritage, but I try to update it.

All the young people in fashion worship the people who have been around a long time. I think it is about keeping something going through the generations. Take my work: Just because I'm not 20 anymore doesn't mean that people don't appreciate what I do.

Fashion is like a fruit, you couldn't eat it a day before and you can't eat it a day after; it's just about today
