I want a woman to feel the cut of the scissors in the clothes.

Chic is when a woman is in harmony with herself.

My clothes are for the international jet set. They are very much for the red carpet.

I don't shop. I buy things that inspire me, that give me emotion.

I have made bouquets of pleats, bouquets of flowers, bouquets of ruffles, bouquets of feathers. Often I design in mousseline, held tightly around the waist, and with something else going on all around.

Capucci was the biggest schooling I had. It wasn't just about the technical knowledge, such as color and volume, but also about the secret rules, and the beautiful codes of respect between the atelier and the master.

The hardest thing in fashion is not to be known for a logo, but to be known for a silhouette.
