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

I'm working 24 hours a day. I have had a house in Tunisia for 20 years, and I never have time to go because there are collections, fittings.

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

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.

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.
