I want to make clothes that are beautiful of course, but also clothes that are interesting and considered and intelligent and not out of place.

Fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But very little. After all, if you have a serious drama, who cares about the clothes?

I would say that clothes are an excuse for living in the world.

I once tried to make lace - which has been a great obsession of women - unsexy. And I achieved it.

The trouble is, most people are not so generous. Everybody wants love for themselves. I hear this all the time from the women I work with. I hear them say, "I want, I want." I never hear them saying what they want to give.

I love uniforms because they allow you to hide. No one knows what you are thinking, so it's a very appropriate and correct way to be yourself.

What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.
