I can be negatively criticised, but this is actually a positive thing, especially if the critic is smart, and helpful. I am very attentive to critics, they let me go ahead and push myself harder to continue.

You can create fashion everywhere in the world, but the place where you are crowned is Paris.

I don't like women who are multiform, who wear many different shapes. Women who retain a unique shape are usually unique people.

I can't go any place without going to museums. It's very important for me.

I am like the lover of Roland Barthes "who's always running in his head". I'm always searching, and "eating" everything from my life, in order to put it in my dresses!

I have to say that the identity of a fashion designer is international today.

I was rather free, and I always did what I wanted to do, sometimes without listening to the people who warned me not to do this or that.
