Clothes should look as if a woman was born into them. It is a form of possession, this belonging to one another. |
The influence of Paris, for instance, is now minimal. Yet a lot is written about Paris fashion. |
A woman should be less concerned about Paris and more concerned about whether the dress she's about to buy relates to the way she lives. |
Fashion is treated too much as news rather than what it is, what it does and how it performs. |
Design is an unknown. |
I tell women not to believe everything they read about fashion. |
Clothes should be as interesting on the inside as on the outside. Even if you enjoy it totally alone, it's important. |
Fashion is in a terrible state. An overdose of too much flesh. |
When I don't have any ideas, I pick up fabric and start working with it and something happens. |
I come in. I'm going to sketch, I'm going to drape, I don't know what I'm going to do. |
The greatest concubines in history knew that everything revealed with nothing concealed is a bore. |
Designis a revelation to me. It's like taking something that is not alive and giving it form, shape, substance, and life. |
