In fashion we're lucky, we make dreams come true.

I am always trying to put myself inside: Every dress I do, I think, 'If I were a woman, would I wear it?'

Fashion is about having a fantasy.

When I'm traveling the world, I don't ever look anymore at the geography - just enough to catch galleries and paintings.

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

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.

Almost every collection I do has 200 different references. I don't have two of the same coat, two of the same dress. I have it in one color, in one fabric. I've tried to adapt the culture of couture, and the know-how and the heritage, but I try to update it.
