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.

The nature of fashion is family. You see that at almost every house, it was owned first by a family. It wasn't owned by a bank.

I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, inventing. The day I cease to learn, I must stop.

I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.

Why not touch things that we hate and turn them upside down and inside out?

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

To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.
