Fashion is not about buying a second skin. Fashion is about having a fantasy.

With fashion, I barely finish one collection before I must start another.

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.

When I was either 7 or 8 years old, I did a sketch every day of my teacher and what she wore. At the end of the year, I gave her the sketchbook. For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams.

I think that if you want to pass emotion, you have to write a letter. Emotions do not pass in SMS or in e-mail.

Everyone wants to be young and skinny. This is awful. Curves are marvelous. Wrinkles are hypnotizing. Why not just be happy with who you are?

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