I was fascinated by movies from age 12.

I know what I am able and not able to do. Fashion? OK. Fashion... clothes in theatre, in an opera, in a concert - all that I love. To make a movie myself... no!

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

I can not forget Melina Mercouri in black dress at 'Never on Sunday'.

In France, history is paralyzing.

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.

Fashion is not art. Never.
