It doesn't matter one damn bit whether fashion is art or not. You don't question whether an incredible chef is an artist or not-his cakes are delicious and that's all that matters.

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

With the exception of lingerie and theater I'm interested in everything to do with clothes and perfumes: everything which is an extension of woman.

How can you live the high life if you do not wear the high heels?

People said making clothes inside out was not proper. I disagreed because clothes that are inside out are as beautiful as a cathedral.

I will be working on the collection until the day before the show! It's an endless process, that's all that I can say at that stage.

I always have a lot of vents and slits in the clothes I design, even inside the pockets so that I can slip my hands inside my clothes and touch my skin. I want to be able to feel my body naked inside my clothes.
