Fashion is about what you look like, which translates to what you would like to be like.

I was lucky to have parents who loved me.

Dressing is a pleasure; clothes are not a joke.

There are many kinds of beauty, and you can find it where you least expect.

I don't know exactly what is my impact, but I can say I am doing fashion my own way.

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 went to London a lot as a young designer because London was a major inspiration, not only for the clothes but the sense of freedom. I remember going to see a stage production of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" in the mid Eighties and loving the mix of Goth and humor, and in my shows I've always liked to play jokes and have fun.
