Fashion is also a form of art, and like every kind of art, it has its own way of expression. In other words, if a dress looks better on a thin girl, on a catwalk, during a very specific moment of time and space then it's represented as part of a "fashion Show". It is after all a "Show" and it has to be understood by people that it is a "show" and not real life.

From the very beginning I've said to women not to follow the fashion rules blindly, and to adapt clothes to suit who they are, and not the contrary.

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

It is a very important matter, as a woman, to juggle everything... Your professional life, family, children etc.

Perfume follows you; it chases you and lingers behind you. It's a reference mark. Perfume makes silence talk.

You know, the more grown-up you are, the more you like Proust.

My parents never mentioned anything about fashion in our household, instead we used to talk about literature, theatre, and arts...this is why I have kept a real relation with the Art world, by putting books from the beginning in my shops' windows.
