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.

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.

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

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.

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

Bill Cunningham he knows fashion better than anybody.
