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.

I love films-they are like paintings.

There is a sensuality about fabric. I think all materials should be inviting when they touch the skin. When I watch children stroking their mothers clothes, I feel that I have succeeded.

Who can really say who invents something first in fashion?

The foundation of beauty is the body.

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

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