I spent a long time learning how to construct clothes, which is important to do before you can deconstruct them.

I was literally 3 years old when I started drawing. I did it all my life, through primary school, secondary school, all my life. I always, always wanted to be a designer. I read books on fashion from the age of twelve. I followed designer's careers. I knew Giorgio Armani was a window-dresser, Emanuel Ungaro was a tailor.

Let me not forget the use of my own hands, that of a craftsman with eyes... that reflect the technology around me.

People don't want to see clothes, they want to see something that fuels the imagination.

When you see a woman wearing McQueen, there’s a certain hardness to the clothes that makes her look powerful. It kind of fends people off.

There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company.
