Even though I love fashion, I prefer people to fashion. Fashion is to make the person comfortable in her body, it’s not something very serious, you get to play.

I think it's good that [my granddaughter] here because I lost my parents and now it's great that there's a new generation. And she's taught me new things that I've forgotten. Like, when you're on holiday and see what it's like to see a shell or go into the water for the first time.

Fashion is a completely international business.

You discover yourself through the research of your work.

In fashion, it’s always better to be an interesting person than a beautiful one. Character is much more fascinating than pure good looks.

Imitation always stinks. When I take photos, I don't go back. I don't look at the past. I'm always original.

I think that something needs to be weird in order to have real beauty.
