Every time I hear that word, I cringe. Fun! I think it's disgusting; it's just running around. It's not my idea of pleasure.

I'm a fashion designer and people think, what do I know?

Journalists are usually quite jealous people, especially of intellectuals who are supposed to be in fashion.

My children came out as individuals in their own right. They were not my products. They had their own characters and were very strong-minded. I gave them a lot of freedom when they were still very young. The one thing they got from me is morals. They would never betray anyone. They are really good people.

The only possible effect one can have on the world is through unpopular ideas.

Even though it was the 70s, we found old stocks of clothes that had never been worn from the 50s and took them apart. I started to teach myself how to make clothes from that kind of formula.

I design things to help people to hopefully express their personality.
