I think now it's the money who tells the artist what to do - it's not the artist who tells the money what to do. And things move very fast, which is hard, because sometimes you need more time to be creative. I guess no one has a loud mouth like I did. They don't dare to scream loudly what they think. But you can't take fashion too seriously. The whole thing is about giving the woman who wears your clothes some power, some fun, some service. It's great to make it as art. But first, it's a service for someone.

A photograph must come from imagination and not be a reflection of what is.

I used fashion to express myself as much as I could. But at some point, it was not enough.

I made clothes because I was looking for something that didn't exist. I had to try to create my own world.

I want my models to be bigger, stronger and taller than common mortals.

To create something to dream about, I need exceptional women, locations and architectures.

The fact that perfume is so close to emotion, that's why I really love it. It's such a good connection between people. When you fall in love with somebody, smell is very important. It could be your memory of the person - it's touching. And it's also playful, because sometimes you choose a different perfume every day depending on your mood. I like to help with that. I like to give a little joy to people.
