My normal life is like being on holiday.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Unfortunately, the greatest photographers don't pay extreme attention to the clothes. If they decide to put a dress in a bathtub or in front of a cow in the countryside with dirt everywhere, well, the dresses come back... ready to be put in the garbage.
