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 never loved the world around me as it was.

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.

We all look for lost time.

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.
