At Ungaro, I discovered the flou and the language of Paris.
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.
The problem is that resuscitating old labels doesn't work anymore. I think it is very important to give hope to a new generation of designers, so that one day they really can put their own names out there.
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.
