Jean Paul Gaultier quotes about
leg women
(But) for women, you put it on as a dress, so you have to put your leg in it. That's it, ... And the zipper on the back and that's it.
people
There are some people who say and do terrible things and they are not even punished for it.
collection women
I think that the collection is very much sophisticated and very woman. It's elegant, not at all sportswear. But it's very much like daytime, but elegant.

If there is somebody we're interested in we might place a phone call and send them a look book.

Always my collections are made of different influences.

I was lucky to have parents who loved me.

I was fascinated by movies from age 12.

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

I know what I am able and not able to do. Fashion? OK. Fashion... clothes in theatre, in an opera, in a concert - all that I love. To make a movie myself... no!

I am impressed by the way Annie Kevans captured the different types of beauties that have been my inspiration and my muses from my grandmother to artists like David Bowie and Boy George.
fashion crazy sweaters
When I started in fashion, I had already adopted the sailor-striped sweater as my uniform; that way, I wouldn't have to drive myself crazy trying to figure out what to wear.
fashion blue leather-jackets
I have always been drawn to designing fashions that are rebellious, like black leather jackets on suburban kinds, a corset dress, punk, blue jeans. I love that. Fashion changes all the time, and what is considered extreme or elegant or luxurious (or not luxurious) is changing all the time.
clothes desire obsession
Clothes became my attraction and obsession early. I wasn't so interested in dressing myself because I was not my object of desire.
