I think it's always difficult to reconcile the needs of art and business.

Haute Couture should be fun, foolish and almost unwearable.

I translated Beatles songs for my English class.

The idea of seeing everybody clad the same is not really my cup of tea

For me, elegance is not to pass unnoticed but to get to the very soul of what one is.

In Italy, the Milanese are well organized but follow bourgeois taste. They adhere to certain codes of elegance, but not to individualism.

We all look for lost time.

People want to be in their own fashion tribes, so they want to wear the same clothes to be connected to everyone else in that tribe. But they want to be different from other tribes.

The world needs some excitement from fashion.

There are days when I'm completely depressed and able to do only one drawing

I am still in love with couture because it is just two months from drawing pad to runway so everything on the catwalk is hot from the oven.

Like a flower, bloom with all your love and power.

My pathways are defined by the Creator.

The eyes of others our prisons

i can't prove this but i can't prove you're a good person though i suspect you're a good person.

We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.

I was fortunate enough to model, but it was always work for me. It was a way to support myself and finance acting classes.

In my pictures, you never know, that’s the mystery. It’s just a suggestion and you leave it to the audience to put what they want on it. It’s fashion in disguise.

If you're familiar with a principle you don't have to be familiar with all of its applications.

To give, and not demand that others receive . . . that is the crossover point to maturity. . .

This is what I am. I have periods of enormous self-destructive depression, where I go completely off my trolley and lose all sight of reality and reason.
