I don't think you can be a designer if you don't care.

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.

What is beautiful for you may not be beautiful to someone else. Or whatever is beautiful here may not be beautiful there and what is sometimes beautiful today is not necessarily beautiful tomorrow. Perhaps this is the story of fashion and what makes it move forward, the fact that there is no decision whatsoever with what’s wrong.

Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.

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.

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

For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams. In my little room at home, I felt that I was somewhere else. In Paris, for instance.
