At Ungaro, I discovered the flou and the language of Paris.
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.
My clothes are for the international jet set. They are very much for the red carpet.
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 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.
