We all look for lost time.

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

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.

Perhaps I shouldn't have been influenced by the idea that my name could be spread across the entire world.

That was the idea behind glam clubs like Seven and The New Eve. You could eat and dance to live music. To enter you had to descend a grand staircase.

I am always anxious to know what has happened while I've been asleep.

The idea of seeing everybody clad the same is not really my cup of tea
