I don't think fashion has to change every five minutes. I'd like these to be clothes you can wear for a long time - ten, 20 years; pass on to your daughter. Why buy vintage when you can open your own closet!

If I had been a dog walker, I would have been the most successful dog walker in Paris.

My career in fashion has been very much about sexuality and sex, and I think a lot of people think that's all I can do and what I am all about.
