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

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.

If you're sad about what you see in the mirror when you wake up every morning, you must change it.

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

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

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