I'm not going into the cool club. It's not my address.

I have a problem to do a collection that is a secondary line. I mean, you don’t want to be the stepsister. You want to be Cinderella. Show me one girl who wants to be the stepsister.

Sometimes you don't really need armor to feel protected. Sometimes maybe you need just a chiffon dress to hug you.

I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.

In fashion, we have a reputation for being such a façade, fake people, but none of the fashion people who I know are fake.

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.

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.
