I think fashion is about longevity and doing your work. It isn't about winning or losing. It's about process, keeping it going.

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

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

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?

What is beautiful for you may not be beautiful to someone else. Or whatever is beautiful here may not be beautiful there and what is sometimes beautiful today is not necessarily beautiful tomorrow. Perhaps this is the story of fashion and what makes it move forward, the fact that there is no decision whatsoever with what’s wrong.

I think that because I'm overweight, [my] fantasy was lightness. So I project my fantasy to the clothes, and now all I do is light, light clothes because it's the one thing I don't have. That is why I'm too afraid to lose weight because then I might make heavy clothes.

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