“Always my collections are made of different influences.”

“Clothes are expensive. You have to buy them, and to buy them, you have to believe in them.”

“Doing fashion drawings was the only way I had to express myself when I was a teenager.”

“Fashion is about what you look like, which translates to what you would like to be like.”

“Fashion is not art. Never.”

“I am very lucky because I am realizing my childhood dreams, and after presenting my shows it's like a party.”

“I don't know exactly what is my impact, but I can say I am doing fashion my own way.”

“I don't like dreams or reality. I like when dreams become reality because that is my life.”

“I have loved corsets since I was small. When I was a child, my grandmother took me to an exhibition, and they had a corset on display. I loved the flesh color, the salmon satin, the lace.”

“I start each collection thinking how I can refresh my classics.”

“I take life as it happens. And I give myself a lot of freedom.”

“I was lucky to have parents who loved me.”

“I would like to say to people, open your eyes and find beauty where you normally don't expect it.”

“I'm still astounded by some people's reaction to things I consider quite normal.”

“It is beautiful to be what you are.”

“I've always felt more at home in the UK than in France.”

“Sometimes I have chosen to see films just by their posters.”

“The great thing about American women is their energy and the way they love to dress. French women don't really dress; they are too conservative, as it's always a question of money. In America, women are powerful and strong, determined. If they want to be an object, they choose to be in control.”

“The shock of the way I mix patterns and fabrics can be disconcerting, but what I am trying to do is provoke new ideas about how pieces can be put together in different ways. I think this is a more modern way to wear clothes that in themselves are fairly classic.”

“When people have good energy I feel it. And generally I feel that people do like me. And that makes me very happy.”

“You see me, I wanted to be fashion designer. I became fashion designer. So I think that everything is possible.”
