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.

I had no fun. My family was too serious.

I think more and more, if you live in the current world - and live internationally - it's all a mix of interests, and the same people who are interested in fashion are also interested in movies, art, and culture.

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

People ask me how can I be stylish, how can I be elegant and what can I wear? My only answer is study! You have to learn.

Now, I'm not saying I'm fashionable, but there are sociological interests that matter to me, things that are theoretical, political, intellectual and also concerned with vanity and beauty that we all think about but that I try to mix up and translate into fashion.

Nostalgia is a very complicated subject for me. I'm attracted by nostalgia but I refuse it intellectually.
