My intention is not to make clothes. My head would be too restricted if I only thought about making clothes.

It would have more meaning for me to hear what critics have to say if their values and their ways of living were deeper and more serious.

Not only in the creative world but also in the sports world. The most successful achievers in sports are people that are really driven and have that spirit of hunger.

I work in three shades of black.

In terms of creation, I have never thought of suiting any system or abiding by any rules. In this respect I have remained free. The necessity has grown, as we have gotten bigger, to think about commercial aspects of the business more and more, because of the responsibility we have toward our staff and our factories.

Beauty is whatever anyone thinks is beautiful.

Fashion is not art. The aims of fashion and art are different and there is no need to compare them.
