I am a sort of vampire, taking the blood of other people.

Forget about your folklore. I can take a few inspirations, but I can certainly not do an homage. That's not my trip. I'm a fashion vampire. I take what I need and I leave the rest.

No, and I never, ever eat in between the meals. I control it well enough and with no pills, and I sleep seven hours a night. I go to bed. I fall asleep, and I wake up seven hours later, and this is the most important.

Today couture has to be expensive, but it shouldn’t look expensive.

You have to be impeccable - I was always told as a child by my mother that you always have to be impeccable, even when you go to bed.

We create a product nobody needs but people want. You spend more for what you really want; some boring things you need: an ugly old car can wait, but if you have a new fashion item it cannot wait.

The first thing I do when I get up, I have breakfast.
