In fashion, we have a reputation for being such a façade, fake people, but none of the fashion people who I know are fake.

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 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 love women. I get along with women more than men, and I have more women friends.

I always wear a dinner jacket. I never have this definition of what goes for the morning or the evening or what works for the weekend.

Fashion doesn't look good only on models, it can look good on different people of different ages and different body shapes.

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