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

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.

If you're sad about what you see in the mirror when you wake up every morning, you must change it.

Fashion will last forever. It will exist always. It will exist in its own way in each era. I live in the moment. It's interesting to know the old methods. But you have to live in the present moment.

I am never sure that anythings good enough. Something that is good today will not be good tomorrow.

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