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

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

Rome holds my psyche in balance. Whenever I'm there, it's like a holiday.

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

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.

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

Chic is when a woman is in harmony with herself.
