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.'

I don't go out to parties because I'd look terrible in pictures. My escape is television - it's like meditation to me.

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.

I know amazing people in fashion who are anything but fake. They are very real and very sensitive. They are happy and sad. They are loyal friends.

The big room or big suite doesn't mean a lot to me. It is what the people do or don't do that matters.

All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.

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