When a woman's clothes are in harmony with her emotions, she shines from within.

All the young people in fashion worship the people who have been around a long time. I think it is about keeping something going through the generations. Take my work: Just because I'm not 20 anymore doesn't mean that people don't appreciate what I do.

Wear flats. You're short. It's much cooler not to pretend.

If you change a woman's look, you change her persona.

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

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.

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