Many, many times I find that whatever is looking good on the screen doesn't always look or feel good on the body. So who do we design for - do we design for the screen, or do we design for women?

Fashion is like a fruit, you couldn't eat it a day before and you can't eat it a day after it's just about today

What is beautiful for you may not be beautiful to someone else. Or whatever is beautiful here may not be beautiful there and what is sometimes beautiful today is not necessarily beautiful tomorrow. Perhaps this is the story of fashion and what makes it move forward, the fact that there is no decision whatsoever with what’s wrong.

I certainly can't complain. I work six days a week, if not seven, and eighteen hours out of twenty-four - fortunately, with a great deal of pleasure. Why? Because I only do something if I want to do it I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, moving, inventing.

I think that because I'm overweight, [my] fantasy was lightness. So I project my fantasy to the clothes, and now all I do is light, light clothes because it's the one thing I don't have. That is why I'm too afraid to lose weight because then I might make heavy clothes.

I have a problem to do a collection that is a secondary line. I mean, you don’t want to be the stepsister. You want to be Cinderella. Show me one girl who wants to be the stepsister.

How do you stand out as a fashion ad campaign? By using people off the street it does generate buzz.

Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.

Some days I feel like a piano: kind of short, always in black & white, always expected to produce music.

I am very sensitive to the smells and sensations that are part of perfumes because they remind me of things: moments from the past, people, events.

I love to travel inside my head, take journeys toward the unknown, meet new people, dream.
