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.

I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.

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

Everybody's talking about the new democratic world and whether high fashion is relevant. But without high there is no low. I don't like to intellectualize. I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.

If I wasn't a designer I would love to be a doctor. That is my fantasy, my dream. A doctor will give you a tablet if you have a headache and I will give you a dress and we both make you feel good.

I am very much a people person. If I am in a beautiful place but I don't like the people, I am miserable.

When a woman's clothes are in harmony with her emotions, she shines from within.
