You have to appreciate every single day that you're alive. Life is a little bit like a garden - you have to find time to plant the seeds for beautiful flowers to grow.

If you want to establish an international presence you can't do so from New York. You need the consecration of Paris.

The essence of style is how you live your life

My great strength is knowing who I am and where I come from - my island.

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.

Any girl from any walk of life dreams of that special dress, and I try to make that dream a reality for her.

I'm a very restless person. I'm always doing something. The creative process never stops.
