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

Women must know themselves better than anyone. If you have ugly legs, wear long dresses. If you have long, great legs, show them.

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 had used the stretch materials for years to shape the inside of garments I made for private clients. Then I just started using them on their own.

I put myself on the same level as everyone else around me - from the directrice to the workman, everyone. Except my pets - they are the Kings; you must treat them like royalty.

I am very curious. Every day, I say: 'What am I going to learn today, and whom am I going to meet?'
