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 am very happy at Givenchy and it is a moment in which I am bringing the game to the next level. I feel at home. It's as if it were my son. I don't know how to explain it. It would be very difficult for me to leave.

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

I hate vulgarity. I hate vulgarity even though it attracts me - and it attracts me very much. I love all that is transgressive or vulgar. But in my opinion, it has to reach a limit that is always a little surreal and never becomes in your face.

Religion and love don't have a price, don't have a gender, a skin color, nothing. We are all on the same plate.

I had only two girlfriends. I didn't have many friends because I was staying at home and dreaming - drawing and dreaming.

In prêt-à-porter now we understandably need to make the collection satisfy the big market more, so couture is extra special.
