Perfection is never achieved, so you need to go on working.

Who can really say who invents something first in fashion?

I have been offered the highest paid contracts in the world. I refused them all. It's not my thing. I don't want to cheat people. And there are certain people I am allergic to. I even intervene when I don't like a customer; I rush in and check all the names. If I don't like them, I don't take them.

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

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

I'm happier about my friends than I am about my work. I still have a long way to go with work. My friends, that's the one thing I'm sure about.

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.
