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

In France, history is paralyzing.

I have loved corsets since I was small. When I was a child, my grandmother took me to an exhibition, and they had a corset on display. I loved the flesh color, the salmon satin, the lace.

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.

Dressing is a pleasure; clothes are not a joke.

Clothes are expensive. You have to buy them, and to buy them, you have to believe in them.

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