I spend my time backstage at the Lanvin shows, and when I come out at the end, all I see are people's eyes.

I always think, if I were an editor, and I was invited to a show, and I would have to wait for 45 minutes in the dark or in the cold or in the heat, maybe I would like to have a fresh drink or a piece of chocolate.

In fashion we're lucky, we make dreams come true.

I work on fittings, mostly. You know, I sketch less and less in my work. I sketch for the show sometimes, but then it becomes more conceptual. But when I don't sketch, it becomes more pragmatic.

I think that if you want to pass emotion, you have to write a letter. Emotions do not pass in SMS or in e-mail.

The whole season thing is nonsense. It's either beautiful or it isn't. That's something I really learned when I started collecting dresses.

Fashion is not about buying a second skin. Fashion is about having a fantasy.
