My mom and my sisters were amazing; they always see the good in people. My mom, she doesn't know how to write and read much, but she's one of the most fantastic women I've met in my life.

I tried to never exclude people. I know what it means to be left out.

Black is always elegant. It is the most complete colour in the whole world, made of all the colours in the palette.

My truth is this: That I don't know what will happen tomorrow because you can never know.

When I do a show I have such high emotion; the energy is amazing - but, people don't really see the details and the work and the experimentation that we, the designers, put into the clothes. With prêt-à-porter you're having a look.

This is why I decided to work with Nike, too, because it is even more mass-market than Givenchy and could make entry-price shoes and make people dream to be part of the journey.

I am interested in beauty when it has something special and mysterious.
