Both my partner and I did not get into cooking so that we could wear ugly chef's coats and stuff. We dress sexy in the kitchen.

Happy, happy fashion. There is not much more to it than that.

I don't think there is just one Louis Vuitton woman. That is why, for the fall/winter 2011 show, I loved the idea of lots of different characters - a wife, a mistress, a girlfriend - stepping out of the row of hotel elevators.

The red carpet doesn't interest me. I think people become all the same; it's like everyone posing from the three-quarter angle in some low-cut, fitted dress; it's all the same.

It's quite nice to see that I didn't have to change who I was to reach two very different types of people.

I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s real.

The best dresses are like t-shirts - you just put them on and forget about them.
