It's important to know yourself well, in order to create your own style of fashion to suit your own body shape.

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.

For the collection, I am like a painter or a writer. I may or may not be a character in my own story.

From the very beginning I've said to women not to follow the fashion rules blindly, and to adapt clothes to suit who they are, and not the contrary.

I think that clothes should be a shelter like a house or a rug. I think that there is that element of protection and a uniform can be just that.

The essence of seduction for me in a man, although it stems from his rough, almost rough-neck looks, still contains something of the woman: he must be seductive and intelligent.
