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.

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 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 can't go any place without going to museums. It's very important for me.

I was influenced by the hippie movement in San Francisco and by the feminist movement, which had arrived in Paris.

Sometimes in the fashion industry we come across some unfair rules, but no one is obliged to follow them.

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