After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’

When I'm traveling the world, I don't ever look anymore at the geography - just enough to catch galleries and paintings.

Almost every collection I do has 200 different references. I don't have two of the same coat, two of the same dress. I have it in one color, in one fabric. I've tried to adapt the culture of couture, and the know-how and the heritage, but I try to update it.

I like the dream, like fantasy dresses. Women can dream at 9 in the morning and at 10 o’clock at night, it doesn’t matter. I think it is also important for me to make it pragmatic and practical and wearable. I always say, 'If you can’t eat it, it’s not food, and if you can’t wear it, it’s not fashion, it is something else.'

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.

Sometimes you don't really need armor to feel protected. Sometimes maybe you need just a chiffon dress to hug you.
