Elegance is a question of personality, more than one's clothing.

The shock of the way I mix patterns and fabrics can be disconcerting, but what I am trying to do is provoke new ideas about how pieces can be put together in different ways. I think this is a more modern way to wear clothes that in themselves are fairly classic.

Clothes are expensive. You have to buy them, and to buy them, you have to believe in them.

All of my life shown me that if you wanted something enough, if you were passionate enough, it would happen.

The great thing about American women is their energy and the way they love to dress. French women don't really dress; they are too conservative, as it's always a question of money. In America, women are powerful and strong, determined. If they want to be an object, they choose to be in control.

Dressing is a pleasure; clothes are not a joke.

Doing fashion drawings was the only way I had to express myself when I was a teenager.
