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

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.

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

The foundation of beauty is the body.

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

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.
