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

I think that if you want to pass emotion, you have to write a letter. Emotions do not pass in SMS or in e-mail.

I adore women, and the one thing I want to do more than anything is to see a transformation of personality when someone puts on one of my dresses.

I certainly can't complain. I work six days a week, if not seven, and eighteen hours out of twenty-four - fortunately, with a great deal of pleasure. Why? Because I only do something if I want to do it; I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, moving, inventing.

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

Wear flats. You're short. It's much cooler not to pretend.

Making them feel gorgeous and comfortable is my way of making women's lives easier.
