The '70s were full of creativity. Everybody was so unique. It was a very creative period, and I think to be a designer you have to know a little about art and literature and music because there is inspiration in all of these things. You're looking for beauty but also something that makes sense.

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

If you think that you did everything and know everything and that everything has been done perfectly well, then it's time to retire.

I walk in the park every day, and when people come and ask for a photograph, I say, "Oh, my God!" It means they recognize that I have been doing something right and they want to have a photograph taken with me.

The difference between fashion and art is that fashion is art in movement.

If you do something for so long, it's really great in your life, right?

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