I do sport at the gym a few times a week, but I hate it. Work is my only remedy. I feel so twisted and horrible in the morning, but then I go to the office and I start feeling better. Work is my Tylenol. Extra-strength.

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.

I'm not a plastic surgeon, and I cannot change the DNA of a person, but when I see a woman try on my clothes and she feels beautiful, I know I am doing my job.

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

I don't want to see a dress with a woman. I just want to see a woman, with a beautiful dress.

For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams. In my little room at home, I felt that I was somewhere else. In Paris, for instance.

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