I love the 2000s because everyone started to love haute couture.

I have my favourite fashion decade, yes, yes, yes: 60s. It was a sort of little revolution; the clothes were amazing but not too exaggerated.

French people are charming, adorable but not extremely generous with foreigners, but they believe in what they do. I feel proud in exchange because what I did in restoration is something I did for La France.

I didn't like the '80s at all; it was a vulgar moment of fashion.

Only wear clothes that make you feel alive.

My title rivals are behind me but at the moment I am not thinking about that. My target is to finish on the podium and then well see where everybody else is.

There are only three things I can do - make a dress, decorate a house, and entertain people.
