For me, I am still very happy to be able to do stage design as it's an opportunity to express the extreme.

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.

The world needs some excitement from fashion.

People want to be in their own fashion tribes, so they want to wear the same clothes to be connected to everyone else in that tribe. But they want to be different from other tribes.

There's always some kind of hidden logic.

French design hardly exists, except as artificial modernism.

Since I was a child I've loved going to the opera, theatre and ballet.
