The older I get, the more I prefer to talk to old people. Old people or kids.

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

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.

When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little.

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.

I try to make women feel more powerful without losing their femininity.

I am in a key moment. I kind of understand that I have to use my work more completely without being ashamed.
