I have a responsibility to the woman of today - to make her feel confident, modern and above all else beautiful.

I don't like trends. They tend to make everybody look the same.

You never forget people who make you laugh.

You feel very romantic when you're in a ball gown. Everyone should wear one once in a while.

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.

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.

All women like to have their clothes admired, and those that deny it are lying.
