When you do something that you like, and you think you can keep doing it, you don't think about retiring.

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.

When you work in fashion, you need to work as a team. You cannot do anything on your own.

Even if it doesn't fit the woman, like, let's say a very short skirt, and the woman doesn't have the legs or the height to wear the skirt, but she has to wear it because it's fashionable. Don't do it! If it doesn't look good on you, don't worry about it.

I think elegance is always going to be there.

Luxury will be always around, no matter what happens in the world.

You cannot forget about your femininity. You don't have to compete with men in that respect.
