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.'

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.

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

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.

Even during the golden age of fashion, you had haute couture houses where the designers didn't have money.

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