Sometimes you don't really need armor to feel protected. Sometimes maybe you need just a chiffon dress to hug you.

If you take something out of the freezer, it's cold, but what happens when it melts? It's a cool party, a cool person, a cool collection. What does that mean? I'm more interested in things that are uncool, things that have a certain individuality, a certain soul, a certain longevity, emotion, fragility.

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

Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.

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

I think that the lack of intuition in fashion today is one of the most dangerous things. My fear is that our business is turning into a bag business, and it's all about the bag. But it's not only about the bag. It's about the women. And it's not about a bag or a shoe or the jewelry. It's only about women. . . . Being almost politically correct and doing only what you expect without the ability to make mistakes is very dangerous to fashion. We have to go with our heart. We have to go with our intuition.

I am very sensitive to the smells and sensations that are part of perfumes because they remind me of things: moments from the past, people, events.
