I would say that clothes are an excuse for living in the world.

Now, I'm not saying I'm fashionable, but there are sociological interests that matter to me, things that are theoretical, political, intellectual and also concerned with vanity and beauty that we all think about but that I try to mix up and translate into fashion.

Seduction is a matter of feelings and people opening themselves. I don't think it's something tricky - it's being human. And everybody is seduced by something different.

What you wear represents you to the world, especially now, when communication between people is so fast. Fashion is a universal language that everyone understands.

When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little.

Many of us grew up with a kind of puritanism against shopping. But shopping can be much more than how it is cast. If you are bored or you have problems, it can be a way of lifting your spirits, by doing something light and superficial. Why not?

It's what I say all the time to my girls in the office here: The more they dress for sex, the less they will have love or sex.

I'm not interested in how people dress.

I always believe in doing new things and using new materials that I have never used or that I didn't like for a long time.

When I talk with people, I don't even see what they are wearing . . . No, I recognize it if it's something particularly nice and interesting. I see the exception.

I’ve never wanted to be called an artist. The term itself seems old-fashioned. It’s a term that does not relate to modern times. And it’s too confining. What I love about fashion is its accessibility and its democracy. Everyone wears it, and everyone relates to it.

I want to make clothes that are beautiful of course, but also clothes that are interesting and considered and intelligent and not out of place.

I like getting older and being the person who people ask for help.
