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

I did not plan to have such a career in the fashion world. All that I wanted, was to have ten kids and raise them!

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.

Design job fell on me. I didn't want to do it. It was an accident. For the first 10 years I said, "Tomorrow I'm stopping."

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.

The fashion industry can in a certain way be very hard and closed.

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.
