Elegance is not to be noticed, but to be remembered.

In practice, I've had a presence in China since 1998 with my commercial spaces and shops.

I started to take care of my body after I turned 50. I never liked how I looked physically because I was too cute, short, with coloring only on my cheeks, the perfect little nose, and then the blue eyes. But I would have preferred to have the look of a tough guy from the wrong side of town - one of those fascinatingly ugly looks.

The world is changing and so is fashion.

There are always protests, whether you do something good or bad. Even if you do something beneficial, people say you do it because it's advertising.

For me, couture is the kingdom of imagination, creativity and experimentation, and this is how I approach it. I do, however, remain pragmatic and realistic.

The difference between style and fashion is quality.
