When I entertain at home, I take time and pleasure in the small details that make all the difference. Entertaining is about giving to people and sharing with them.

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

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

I am happy that thousands of students, young designers and fashion people will be able to see and study my work in every aspect of it.

I know what women want. They want to be beautiful.

Even as a young boy, my passion was to design, and I have been very lucky to be able to do what I have loved all my life. There can be few greater gifts than that.

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.
