I take life as it happens. And I give myself a lot of freedom.

I'm still astounded by some people's reaction to things I consider quite normal.

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

I was lucky to have parents who loved me.

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 am impressed by the way Annie Kevans captured the different types of beauties that have been my inspiration and my muses from my grandmother to artists like David Bowie and Boy George.
