The key to my collections is sensuality.

I was influenced by the hippie movement in San Francisco and by the feminist movement, which had arrived in Paris.

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

As a slave [to fashion], I can be very dramatic and very demanding of myself and of the people I work with.

Everything I do is really an expression of myself, through colors and shapes and, at the same time, I try to explain what I feel not only as a creator but also as a woman. I cannot separate one from the other.

In my family, Fashion was something we never talked about, it was thought of as kind of superficial.

When I was a kid, all I liked were books and chocolate.
