My dream, maybe because of my family, of course, was to be a painter. I chose in one moment the direction of textiles; from textiles I went to fashion.

I think I was the first to show that a designer could be like a rock star, that people should love your fashion but also put your name together with your fashion.

I was a disaster child. I remember I make very often my mother cry.

The big fish run the show. I'm a middle fish, but there are small fish that are poisonous.

You can't just buy things for the label - it's ridiculous.

I really don't understand minimalism. It is so polite and boring. If you don't want anyone to notice you, you should stay home and grow your own vegetables.

I love women's fashion, but women don't need me as much as men do. It's the men who have nothing to wear.
