I couldn't love a woman who inspired me to be totally disinterested. If I fell in love with a woman for an artistic reason, or from the point of view of my work, I think it would rob her of something.

Isn't elegance forgetting what one is wearing?

I don't at all search for an ideal woman, but several ideal women.

The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves. But for those who haven't had the fortune of finding this happiness, I am there.

Fashion is defined by what later becomes out of fashion.

I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.

For me, perfume, must be adapted to fashion, not the other way around.
