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.

A scarf has to be the most beautiful thing ever invented to wear! It's a winding, a continuity, an infinity! I love things that are endless, I hate them to stop. It's like order and disorder: I rather love disorder and things that move, it's a state where one gets more things done!

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.

I'm not at all interested in doing clothes for movies or stage, in stage dressing or costuming. Nor can I design lingerie, for I never wear any! At one time I used to wear a lot of lingerie but now I'm in a mood of total nudity!

I was rather free, and I always did what I wanted to do, sometimes without listening to the people who warned me not to do this or that.

Perfume follows you; it chases you and lingers behind you. It's a reference mark. Perfume makes silence talk.

The fashion industry can in a certain way be very hard and closed.
