Today, there is no fashion, really. There are just... choices. Women dress today to reveal their personalities. They used to reveal the designer's personality. Until the 70s, women listened to designers. Now women want to do it their own way. There are no boundaries. And without boundaries, there is no fashion.

I always think the best way to dress is when the person notices you first and the dress after.

When I was a boy, I thought scent was contained in dewdrops on flowers and if I got up very early in the morning, I could collect it and make perfume.

Fashion is about the present and the immediate future. I think in terms of now.

My entire concept of lifestyle is built on the foundation of my homes. There is no more important expression of this concept than that of my own personal living space.

A fragrance is like a signature, so that even after a woman leaves the room, her fragrance should reveal she's been there.

My approach is that fashion must always be optimistic, and that a woman will always be enticed by beautiful clothes.
