I am more used to seeing my work like a big collection, and only part of it is being shown.

I don't think couture will die. But it should have no pretension that it will conquer the world. It's not something that will disappear because all you need is a thread and a needle to start making something couture.

We always see the point of an iceberg. So I've always accepted the idea that people - they don't necessarily know everything I am.

For a long time I have been thinking about affordable fashion - you can be disappointed when not so many people can wear your stuff.

I rarely stay at home when I'm in New York. I'm always doing things. It brings you so much energy.

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

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.
