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

I'd rather be relevant than cool.

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.'

I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, inventing. The day I cease to learn, I must stop.

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

Fashion is not always about what's new, it's also about what's good. And I think if you need to see what's good, you have to be there.

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