I have been offered the highest paid contracts in the world. I refused them all. It's not my thing. I don't want to cheat people. And there are certain people I am allergic to. I even intervene when I don't like a customer; I rush in and check all the names. If I don't like them, I don't take them.

Bill Cunningham he knows fashion better than anybody.

I'm always telling young designers to take the time to surround themselves with women.

The present fashion system is too hard - there are too many collections. The designers have no time to think! Money is too important. Schedules are too crazy.

When I see beautiful clothes, I want to keep them, preserve them... Clothes, like architecture and art, reflect an era.

As a child, I was raised with my grandmother, alongside all my cousins, and the kitchen was always full.

The foundation of beauty is the body.
