If I have done anything, it is to make ugly appealing.

Before I had kids, I was out every night of the week.

I was a feminist in the Sixties, and can you imagine? The worst thing I could have done was to be in fashion. It was the most uncomfortable position.

What interests me most is when a work of art is no longer just an object, but also touches reality and life.

I don't believe in people who think that clothes are not important.

When I talk with people, I don't even see what they are wearing . . . No, I recognize it if it's something particularly nice and interesting. I see the exception.

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.
