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

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

I could live naked... I love it.

I didn't understand the advantages of staying active until I was about 27.

When I was young, watching historical movies made me feel absolutely sublime. But the first few times I visited costume museums, I was really disappointed because it was not at the level I saw in movies. It was not the level of the image I'd imagined.

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

When the economy changes, it's not like you want to start eating bad-tasting chocolate.
