No. I mean those people really did something for designers I don't think department stores can, could or should do still today. Today the world is different so you have to make it differently. There's TV. There's a lot of things.

My only ambition in life . . . is to wear size 28 jeans.

I have a guest house because I don't want people in my home.

Fashion does not have to prove that it is serious. It is the proof that intelligent frivolity can be something creative and positive

I never smoked. I never drank and I never took drugs. The funny thing is, nothing is more boring, people like this. For me, it's OK. But most of my friends, at least they smoke and drink.

I want everyone to wear what they want and mix it in their own way. That, to me, is what is modern.

I like today and perhaps a little future still, but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So, as far as I'm concerned, I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know, I don't care because I knew how it was.
