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.

I could say that making clothes is my way of communicating, because I was always so shy.

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

Fashion is not art. Never.

I start each collection thinking how I can refresh my classics.

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.

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