They say that the best furniture and clothing design from the '50s and '60s is Scandinavian or Milanese.
But the Milanese have made bad choices, bad fashion, and bad jewelry.
Fashion needs to be worn.
For me, elegance is not to pass unnoticed but to get to the very soul of what one is.
French design hardly exists, except as artificial modernism.
For me, haute couture is a necessity. I never would have done this job were it not for haute couture. It is a comfort, a security. I almost feel it is our duty to continue. Haute couture is France. We have to keep all the skills and craftmanship alive.
