With fashion, I barely finish one collection before I must start another.

At Yves Saint Laurent, I felt like the son-in-law - like I was part of the family, but not quite. When I was fired, I felt like the widow.

I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection.

I'd rather be relevant than cool.

I love to travel inside my head, take journeys toward the unknown, meet new people, dream.

Fashion is instinctive and sensual. Learn to love what you wear. It should feel like eating chocolates...wi thout the calories

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.
