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.

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

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

The key to my collections is sensuality.

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.

You know, the more grown-up you are, the more you like Proust.

You can create fashion everywhere in the world, but the place where you are crowned is Paris.
