I don’t do meetings. At Chanel, there are no meetings. At Chanel, we do what we want, whenever we want and it works. And Fendi is the same.

Foreigners don't want to invest any more in France - and this is not working.

Designers must be both conscious and unconscious at the same time. Clear thinking at the wrong moment can stifle talent.

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.

Only the minute and the future are interesting in fashion -- it exists to be destroyed. If everybody did everything with respect, you'd go nowhere.

People who say that yesterday was better than today are ultimately devaluing their own existence.

The French say you get hungry when you’re eating, and I get inspired when I’m working. It’s my engine.
