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.

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

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

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.

I would like to say to people, open your eyes and find beauty where you normally don't expect it.

In France, history is paralyzing.

My eccentricity became direction.
