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.

Stuff your brain with knowledge.

Chanel is an institution, and you have to treat an institution like a whore – and then you get something out of her

Fashion does not have to prove that it is serious. It is the proof that intelligent frivolity can be something creative and positive

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

Success nullifies. You then have to do it again, preferably differently

Never use the word “cheap”. Today everybody can look chic in inexpensive clothes (the rich buy them too). There is good clothing design on every level today. You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans — it’s up to you.

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