I have a problem to do a collection that is a secondary line. I mean, you don’t want to be the stepsister. You want to be Cinderella. Show me one girl who wants to be the stepsister.

I adore women, and the one thing I want to do more than anything is to see a transformation of personality when someone puts on one of my dresses.

After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’

I'm not going into the cool club. It's not my address.

The designers, photographers and models I work with, they are really hard-working people who are devoting their lives to fashion. They're kind of like nuns of fashion.

Fashion is not always about what's new, it's also about what's good. And I think if you need to see what's good, you have to be there.

What we want is clothing we think we can fly in. That's why I opened the show with flying dresses.
