But if fashion were easy, wouldn't everybody look great ?

People put on certain clothes for certain reasons, I assume, when their closet is filled with clothes.

I hate the word "eclectic" .I'm a classicist, and I like comfort. Lots of books, lots of artwork, pieces of family furniture, and newer upholstery.

Success needs to be measured according to the ambitions and the resources of each designer. And many aren't interested in being a megabrand.

Staples are only good if they truly suit our lifestyle.

I believe that it's very important to get to know people with whom you can have a substantive dialogue about design and its development. In addition, read everything about fashion that you can get your hands on. A palpable point of view is what makes a designer, so you need to be confident about yours.

What's important to a fashion designer? It's much more than learning how to make clothes. In fact, that merely makes you a dressmaker. It doesn't make you into a fashion designer.
