There is nothing scarier than being ‘the designer of the moment,’ because the moment ends.

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.'

When I'm traveling the world, I don't ever look anymore at the geography - just enough to catch galleries and paintings.

I love and respect women. I work mostly with women.

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

Women can dream at 9 in the morning and at 10 o'clock at night - it doesn't matter.

Many, many times I find that whatever is looking good on the screen doesn't always look or feel good on the body. So who do we design for - do we design for the screen, or do we design for women?
