I think that clothes should be a shelter like a house or a rug. I think that there is that element of protection and a uniform can be just that.

I have the feeling I've always done what I wanted throughout my life.

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

My shows are about the complete woman who swallows it all. It's a question of survival.

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 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.

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!
