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 love to see what they [Michelle Obama and Kate Middleton] wear but I am not interested. It’s not natural. If you are a girl dressing up in the morning thinking about the whole world having a point of view on what you are wearing, it takes the pleasure out of getting dressed.

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.

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.

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.

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

My sense of designing is a mix of intuition and intellectual control.
