I think that there are so many women who understand nothing about clothes and they should try and understand themselves before they start putting on disguises: they should stand in front of the mirror for a day, two days or three, and find out what they have which is beautiful, interesting: what they should show: hair, neck, arms, or hands.

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.

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.

It is a very important matter, as a woman, to juggle everything... Your professional life, family, children etc.

The fashion industry is a free world, with creative codes that can be hardly considered sometimes, but it's also up to women to create their own style, and own trend.

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

As a slave [to fashion], I can be very dramatic and very demanding of myself and of the people I work with.
