My mother loved fashion and always had a great aesthetic. But she also considered the cost of it, with the kids, that it wasn't something to allow herself. It also probably nourished my passion and my will to make fashion, because I've always felt that, because of having a big family to take care of, she sacrificed a bit of her femininity.

Art is the way people see things, and I think it's great when individuals can find in fashion something they truly believe is artistic

As a designer, I'm not a guy that can be put in a niche.

I really hated school. I had the feeling I was losing a lot of time.

I would love, just once, to do costumes for a movie. I almost did some theater, but it is very different from what I am used to doing as a fashion designer.

The aim of being a good designer is to have an influence. If you design furniture or lifestyle, you should influence the way people evolve globally. It's good to have an influence. I feel like people on the street today probably dress better than they did in the '50s.

What is sure is that the satellite view of our world and its evolution is now a common reality.
