I don't want to sound too silly or pretentious about this, but, you know, I love being in Paris. I love working at Louis Vuitton. I love fashion. That's why I do it. No one's forcing me to do this. And nobody forces anyone to buy it. It's a real love affair.

It's sometimes said that I'm rebellious and I do things to push people's buttons, but I just like the challenge.

It's funny because every time I go to a shoot, and I have clothes on, they inevitably come off. I just did one recently and the stylist was like, "So..." and you just know that they are going to get to the point where they say "Can you take your clothes off?"

Yes, I always remember my dad's, mom's and my grandma's perfumes.

I value very much the time before the show, when there is nothing else but to concentrate on the show, and it's just purely design.

I think of many people and no one as a muse. I love the way Sofia looks always, and I love the way Kim looks always. Fashion may be part of their world, but it's not their whole life. It's not everything.

Fashion isn't a necessity. It pulls at your heart. It's a whim. You don't need it. You want it.
