My whole life, I've always had to be surrounded by creative things. I find it relaxing to be in touch with creations by other people.

It felt wrong for me to stay totally connected to that very strict way of approaching the heritage - what it can be, what it cannot be. That was also the period where I really thought, "No, let's open it up."

I find it fascinating to see the fact that women want to buy things that they see on men.

Unlike fashion, art isn't applied. It doesn't have to serve anybody. It doesn't have to be there for any other reason than to give an impression of what the world is about.

Camouflage is about much more than concealment and going unnoticed. There's a whole game involved between revealing and hiding.

I don't see Dior as something that could become mine. I see it as a dialogue with the women who wear it. I want to stay connected to them rather than to an abstract brand.

For me, Warhol made so much sense.
