I think women should be seductive, not triste. There's enough sadness in life now without making women look sad, too.

I take it to heart that, for example, there aren't enough funds for AIDS research, but people pay 20 times the value of an item of clothing.

I make clothes; women make fashion.

I never followed fashion. It's women who have dictated my conduct.

If I don't have a model in front of me, I don't have an idea.

I have total confidence in Beaute Prestige International to accompany me in creating a perfume that interprets my work and my world.

I used to spend my nights oversewing dresses for a local dressmaker in order to pay for my school equipment.

I love American girls. They're audacious. They put more outrageous things on their bodies than anybody.

I prefer to stay poor.

I want to speak directly with a star, not her stylist.
