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

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

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

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

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

Even if I'm in Japan and I don't speak Japanese and the woman facing me doesn't speak French but she's dressed in Rykiel, and she recognizes me, then we have a common language right away.

I think that the boy-woman is a very strong image and a lot of fascinating women are like that: Gala [Dalí].
