Success isn't about the end result, it's about what you learn along the way. Dressing is a way of life. Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity. For me, the summer will be pure gray - mother-of-pearl gray, very pale gray. To me, this is the big statement for summer. Then we have light blue, light turquoise, lots of pink. I get ideas about what's essential when packing my suitcase.
Insecurity is a waste of time. Online media is increasingly influential in fashion. Attention to detail is of utmost importance when you want to look good. I love things that age well - things that don't date, that stand the test of time and that become living examples of the absolute best. I always thought were gold.
My job is to bring out in people what they wouldn't dare do themselves. You have to always work against what you did before, and even against your taste.
A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous. My breakfast is very important. I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes, where a woman's personality and sense of self are revealed. I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman. The difference between style and fashion is quality. We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world. It has to be a world in which people live rather than die; a sustainable world. It could be great. People said making clothes inside out was not proper.
Sometimes incompetence is useful. It helps you keep an open mind. Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.
A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous. The great thing about fashion is that it always looks forward. Doing collections and doing fashion.
I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions. There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company. I am what I am. Before I was not so proud to make fashion. My family thought fashion wasn't very interesting. So I hid that. What I hate is nasty, ugly people. Fashions fade, style is eternal.
