There are days when I'm completely depressed and able to do only one drawing

Going out in Paris was like going out in the '30s dressed like the Andrews Sisters. It was everything I'd seen in books at my grandparents' house, only it was our generation.

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.

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

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

We all look for lost time.
