I've admired historical clothes like Victorian gowns since I was a child, and it's what motivated me to go into fashion.

I don't like to go beyond modernity because you think girls might be like that in five years, but in five years what I see now is going to be old; we are always going to go somewhere else. You have to bring a few novelties within what will remain.

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.

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

When other boys dreamt of going to the moon or becoming doctors, I wanted to be a designer.

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.

I am not a designer that buys vintage to be inspired.
