When I started at [Nina] Ricci, I did street wear for very cool, young girls but the price point was for the fourth floor of Bergdorf Goodman next to Carolina Herrera. My cool girls cannot afford it.

What is funny is when you do a futuristic movie, you immediately get to be fashionable because you're creating something that doesn't exist.

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.

People who don't know me sometimes call me 'Mademoiselle.'

I could live naked... I love it.

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.
