I'm someone who came to Paris as a teenager, and I dreamed of coming back to Paris as a visitor. I never dreamed of having a job at the biggest luxury house in Paris and, you know, 15 odd years later, I'm still here.

I'm not a model, so the idea of modelling a suit or clothes is weird in itself.

Makeup is the finishing touch, the final accessory.

To me, clothing is a form of self-expression - there are hints about who you are in what you wear.

I love attention, I'm very honest about it ... [but] if I wanna wear a pink dress or a lace dress or a kilt of whatever, it's like I'm not solely doing it for attention, I'm doing it first for myself because it gives me pleasure.

One thing that is exciting about fashion is the surprise element. People don't know what they want. They just know when they see it.

It's the things that aren't accepted as conventionally beautiful that I find more attractive.
