My obsession is to make women beautiful. When you create with that in mind, things can't go out of fashion.

I'm happier about my friends than I am about my work. I still have a long way to go with work. My friends, that's the one thing I'm sure about.

I even do my ready-to-wear samples like couture.

Who can really say who invents something first in fashion?

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

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

I like black, because for me it is a very happy color.
