"Luxury is the ease of a t-shirt in a very expensive dress."

"I’m very much down to earth, just not this earth."

"Fashion is about two things: the evolution and the opposite."

"Forgiveness isn’t something I’m preoccupied with — turning the other cheek isn’t my trip."

"We need houses as we need clothes, architecture stimulates fashion. It’s like hunger and thirst — you need them both."

"The woman is the most perfect doll that i have dressed with delight and admiration."

"The elegance is as physical, as moral quality that has nothing common with the clothing. You can see a countrywoman more elegant than one so called elegant woman."

"I like to reinvent myself — it’s part of my job."

"We live in a dark and romantic and quite tragic world."

"I would like to be a one-man multinational fashion phenomenon."

"Stuff your brain with knowledge."

"When people want to be liked for what they did, they should stop."

"The only love that I really believe in is a mother’s love for her children."

"Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality."

"I want everyone to wear what they want and mix it in their own way. That, to me, is what is modern."

"I do my job like I breathe — so if I can’t breathe I’m in trouble."

"Fashion and music are the same, because music express its period too."

"People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory."

"The secret to modeling is not being perfect. What one needs is a face that people can identify in a second. You have to be given what’s needed by nature, and what’s needed is to bring something new."

"Fashion is about going ahead, not about memory."
