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 always find it kind of embarrassing, kind of funny, and kind of exciting. In New York I'm recognized a lot, although nobody says anything. You know, they stare at you just a second too long. But in Paris it's not as commonplace to be recognized.

Fashion is just something money can buy. People who are stylish are free and have no fear in staying true to themselves. Plus, style is infinitely more interesting.

Creativity in any form stimulates creativity in every form, music, arts, literature... I find inspiration in anything. It's all the same.

You can go to Graff and buy a diamond that's flawless. You aren't going to be able to buy the same diamond at Fortunoff, but it's still a diamond you can enjoy. If fashion can allow you to have the Chanel mystique through a lipstick, then why shouldn't art allow you to have that through a sweatshirt that says 'Cremaster' on it?

Art critics are like every other critic.

I like to make things. I like making choices, choosing colours, evoking a spirit, a change.
