For me, fashion begins in New York.

Politics are private. I don't understand people who try to convince you to join one party or another.

Fashion never stops. There is always the new project, the new opportunity.

The first painting that I realised I liked was 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' by Hieronymus Bosch, when I was six years old, at the Prado in Madrid. I still find myself returning there every time I'm in the city.

Sometimes I'm a psychiatrist and I tell people in my office that my door is open, and if they have a problem to come and talk to me. Sometimes I say, "I have to close the door because I don't want to hear it!"

Work doesn't seem to interfere with my life. I have time for everything, even time to be alone.

Fashion is to please your eye. Shapes and proportions are for your intellect.
