I don't want to see a dress with a woman. I just want to see a woman, with a beautiful dress.

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.

What I love in fashion is to tell a story through a creation.

Run away from laziness; work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.

If you take something out of the freezer, it's cold, but what happens when it melts? It's a cool party, a cool person, a cool collection. What does that mean? I'm more interested in things that are uncool, things that have a certain individuality, a certain soul, a certain longevity, emotion, fragility.

I'd rather be relevant than cool.

I don't want to see a dress with a woman. I just want to see a woman, with a beautiful dress.
