I think that the lack of intuition in fashion today is one of the most dangerous things. My fear is that our business is turning into a bag business, and it's all about the bag. But it's not only about the bag. It's about the women. And it's not about a bag or a shoe or the jewelry. It's only about women. . . . Being almost politically correct and doing only what you expect without the ability to make mistakes is very dangerous to fashion. We have to go with our heart. We have to go with our intuition.

In fashion we're lucky, we make dreams come true.

I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.

If you change a woman's look, you change her persona.

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

I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.

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