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 did not plan to have such a career in the fashion world. All that I wanted, was to have ten kids and raise them!

The key to my collections is sensuality.

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

Perfume is like a parenthesis, a moment of freedom, peace, love and sensuality in between the disturbances of modern living.

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.
