I've been dressing Renee on the red carpet for the past three years, ... I think she always looks great. She has the right proportion for my clothes. She has that tiny waist and she loves fashion.

Attention to detail is of utmost importance when you want to look good.

I want women to really look like women from today. It's not from the past and not from the future, because I don't know what happens in the future. It is the woman of today (who) I think is a seductive woman.

I very seldom compromise. I am a Capricorn.

You can't wait for people to tell you; you have to know yourself.

I didn't long to be a designer. I always liked fashion, but it was always a bit sleeping in me.

I love books; my suitcases are always full of them. Books and shoes. I read when I am sad, when I am happy, when I am nervous. My favourite British author is Jane Austen, and my favourite American one is John O'Hara.
