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

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 became my attraction and obsession early. I wasn't so interested in dressing myself because I was not my object of desire.

To show the relativity of what's good taste and what's not is something I like to play with.

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.

People are so codified - it's sad.
