I certainly can't complain. I work six days a week, if not seven, and eighteen hours out of twenty-four - fortunately, with a great deal of pleasure. Why? Because I only do something if I want to do it; I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, moving, inventing.

I think fashion is about longevity and doing your work. It isn't about winning or losing. It's about process, keeping it going.

I adore women, and the one thing I want to do more than anything is to see a transformation of personality when someone puts on one of my dresses.

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

There is nothing scarier than being ‘the designer of the moment,’ because the moment ends.

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.

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