My best experiences with movies have come when I didn't know what to see.

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.

I've always felt more at home in the UK than in France.

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

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

I have always been drawn to designing fashions that are rebellious, like black leather jackets on suburban kinds, a corset dress, punk, blue jeans. I love that. Fashion changes all the time, and what is considered extreme or elegant or luxurious (or not luxurious) is changing all the time.
