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.

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.

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

It's useless to send models out on the runway to cry.

I started by designing a sweater very close to the body, because I couldn't find any for myself.

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.

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