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.

I make clothes, women make fashion.

Who can really say who invents something first in fashion?

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

The foundation of beauty is the body.

As a child, I was raised with my grandmother, alongside all my cousins, and the kitchen was always full.

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