In Paris, I didn't want to be friends with people in fashion. I wanted to get into a philosophical society where all the thinking men were.

When I see that the clothes are sold the day they debut in some cases, I fear we are going to kill the invisible side of fashion, the mystery. Now with the industry, it's getting a bit difficult to create any mystery. But it's quite an interesting period. It's a bit chaotic.

I can become a positive virus, a hope virus.

What is the most challenging is the industry of fashion is pushing for speedy consumption.

What is important is the future. After 40 years of creation, I continue. This is what I love.

The underground and the alternative is going to be substituted with being a virus.

Sometimes you lose some friends and you get new ones.
