I work on fittings, mostly. You know, I sketch less and less in my work. I sketch for the show sometimes, but then it becomes more conceptual. But when I don't sketch, it becomes more pragmatic.

I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.

When I was either 7 or 8 years old, I did a sketch every day of my teacher and what she wore. At the end of the year, I gave her the sketchbook. For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams.

I like dresses for night; I like after-party more than party. I like the mystery; I like the dream, like fantasy dresses. I think, also, that you make women dream.

To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.

Run away from laziness; work hard. Touch intuition and listen to the heart, not marketing directors. Dream.
