Run away from laziness; work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.

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

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 always wear a dinner jacket. I never have this definition of what goes for the morning or the evening or what works for the weekend.

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.

What I love in fashion is to tell a story through a creation.

Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.
