I think it's always difficult to reconcile the needs of art and business.

I am still in love with couture because it is just two months from drawing pad to runway so everything on the catwalk is hot from the oven.

There's always some kind of hidden logic.

But the Milanese have made bad choices, bad fashion, and bad jewelry.

If I was a fashion designer just following trends or designing for celebrities, I would not be fulfilled.

French design hardly exists, except as artificial modernism.

For me, elegance is not to pass unnoticed but to get to the very soul of what one is.
