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

The natures of men and women are very mixed and for me the most fascinating type of woman is the one who is a little masculine, has a little of the man in her, and the sort of man who is fabulous is the one who is a little woman too. It's impossible not to mix them!

Being one step ahead of a fashion trend is not so important to me. What matters is to always forge ahead.

How can you live the high life if you do not wear the high heels?

I am what I am. Before I was not so proud to make fashion. My family thought fashion wasn't very interesting. So I hid that.

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.

I have to say that the identity of a fashion designer is international today.
