Fashion is like a fruit, you couldn't eat it a day before and you can't eat it a day after; it's just about today

I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.

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.

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 barely finish one pre-collection before I must start on another. Sales start, but I am already elsewhere creatively. The men's show is being prepared, but we also need to think about accessories, perfumes and other items. In sum, I never stop.

A singer can quit once he or she has made ten great songs; a director can finish once he or she has made five amazing films; a writer just needs to write three great books.

It was not the story of design or clothes, it was the fantasy of women that made me want to work in fashion.
