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.

Silk does for the body what diamonds do for the hand.

When a woman falls in love with something so much that she wants to wear it- it is at that point that it becomes fashion.

I always say: To be well dressed you must be well naked.

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

We're dealing with sophisticated customers. What's most important to these women is individuality. I have to create things she'll want to wear, no matter who she is.

Excess is not really something I consider a bad thing; especially when you are talking about living.
