people
People are so codified - it's sad.
inspiration grandmother boys
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.
people normal reactions
I'm still astounded by some people's reaction to things I consider quite normal.
dream party childhood
I am very lucky because I am realizing my childhood dreams, and after presenting my shows it's like a party.
clothes shy way
I could say that making clothes is my way of communicating, because I was always so shy.
believe clothes expensive-clothes
Clothes are expensive. You have to buy them, and to buy them, you have to believe in them.
giving happens
I take life as it happens. And I give myself a lot of freedom.

I've always felt more at home in the UK than in France.

If it's too fashiony, it's not interesting to me.

In France, history is paralyzing.
thinking people black
People think that everyone wears black in France; in fact they all wear grey.
