Everybody knows that I don't have a muse. I'm not interested in that.

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.

What you wear represents you to the world, especially now, when communication between people is so fast. Fashion is a universal language that everyone understands.

I respect my work. But also I think it's very superficial.

I suppose I felt guilty not to be doing something more important, more political. So in a way I am trying to use the company for these other activities.

The younger generations have their own ideas, they have their own projects. When they talk, I am always surprised how much more lucid and cultivated they are and how they see things in a way that is much more complex than, for example, other generations did.

For me, it's important to anticipate where fashion is heading.
