Fashion designers are dictators of taste.

I make such big efforts to forget things and I can't tell the story of my life because, thank God, I'm still living it.

The motivation is doing for doing, not [for] having done.

When I was 14, I wanted to smoke because my mother smoked like mad. I wanted to smoke to look grown-up. But my mother said: 'You shouldn't smoke. Your hands are not that beautiful and that shows when you smoke.

I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.

Fashion is about two things: the evolution and the opposite.

That's why I sleep alone. My hair is curly, and that's why I have my ponytail. I look like a madman, like something out of a horror movie.
