I like the dynamism and the joy cabare creates. I have always taken my job very seriously, but have always liked to have fun, to play. I like tradition and classicism but I have always liked to mix it up, even if it shocks at times.

I'm still astounded by some people's reaction to things I consider quite normal.

What is masculine and what is feminine, anyway? Why should men not show that they can be fragile or seductive? I am only happy when there is no discrimination.

People think that everyone wears black in France; in fact they all wear grey.

When I started in fashion, I had already adopted the sailor-striped sweater as my uniform; that way, I wouldn't have to drive myself crazy trying to figure out what to wear.

Fashion is not art. Never.

I don't like dreams or reality. I like when dreams become reality because that is my life.
