Fashion is a completely international business.

What a women reads makes her more attractive and more elegant than what she wears.

I am not a good professional of fashion. I am not an expert about how clothes are constructed or the history of fashion. I never start with fashion. I always think of the girl and her personality - because all that matters to me when you look at a page is, "Do you want to be that girl?"

Once you start being a muse, you cannot stop being a muse.

Each time I’m coming out of my apartment I remember the quote of Coco Chanel; she said, ‘Each time I’m leaving my apartment or my hotel, I’m looking at myself in the mirror and I take off one piece of my look. It’s always one thing too much.’ And it’s a bit the same, always I take off my scarf or I take off my bag or jewellery because I like it simple. Coco Chanel is a great consultant I think.

Clothing is always a tool that helps me take a picture. But it's never about the clothing.

Fashion is very tough, and we shouldn't forget that before designers were money-makers, they were artists.
