I think in the darkest moments, we need a break.

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

My breakfast is very important.

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.

My clothes are put together out of different basic elements so that a woman can express the way she wants to look, transform, metamorphosize herself not as the woman I decided but as she herself wants to be.

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.

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