The word "elegance" is a bit different now.
I didn't long to be a designer. I always liked fashion, but it was always a bit sleeping in me.
I'm not in the fashion business; I'm in the beauty business.
Fashion has to be worn; otherwise it doesn't exist.
Luxury will be always around, no matter what happens in the world.
It is difficult to read the reviews when you start because you see something in your collection and the press sees something else. That is when you have to be very strong about your own style. They can say whatever they want, but I do what I do because I love it.
