I think women should be seductive, not triste. Theres enough sadness in life now without making women look sad, too.

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

I make clothes, women make fashion.

Who can really say who invents something first in fashion?

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.

Bill Cunningham he knows fashion better than anybody.

I like black, because for me it is a very happy color.
