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

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

Who can really say who invents something first in fashion?

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 make clothes, women make fashion.

My obsession is to make women beautiful. When you create with that in mind, things can't go out of fashion.
