Clear thinking at the wrong moment can stifle creativity.

Absurdity and anti—absurdity are the two poles of creative energy.

Reinvent new combinations of what you already own. Improvise. Become more creative. Not because you have to, but because you want to. Evolution is the secret for the next step.

Fashion is ephemeral, dangerous and unfair.

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.

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

Fashion is neither moral or immoral, but it is for rebuilding the morale.

Respect is not creative ... Chanel is an institution, and you have to treat an institution like a whore — and then you get something out of her.
