Run away from laziness; work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.

I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.

I always say that women are very strong and men are powerful. But beauty gives you both strength and power. I never think of it. It's just one of those natural things. It's the only thing I know how to do.

For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams. In my little room at home, I felt that I was somewhere else. In Paris, for instance.

I hate the word 'cool.' It gives me a rash.

'Commercial' is not the word that has to be said only by CEOs. It has to be something that is maybe the essence of design, because design has some sort of art in it and creation, but it's also some object that you have to use. There is also this pragmatic end to it.

I always wear a dinner jacket. I never have this definition of what goes for the morning or the evening or what works for the weekend.
