I like the dream, like fantasy dresses. Women can dream at 9 in the morning and at 10 o’clock at night, it doesn’t matter. I think it is also important for me to make it pragmatic and practical and wearable. I always say, 'If you can’t eat it, it’s not food, and if you can’t wear it, it’s not fashion, it is something else.'

My dream is to be a doctor. I'm almost working in a laboratory, because I'm trying new techniques, new directions and fabrics, new weaving.

The problem with couture is not designers; it's what happens when the couturier will no longer be there.

I spend my time backstage at the Lanvin shows, and when I come out at the end, all I see are people's eyes.

Fashion is about having a fantasy.

I work on fittings, mostly. You know, I sketch less and less in my work. I sketch for the show sometimes, but then it becomes more conceptual. But when I don't sketch, it becomes more pragmatic.

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