You cannot have adoration without being criticized.

I want to get away from couture just being done for a picture or for a single moment on the red carpet. I want to try and convince women that couture can be worn in the day and that there's a reality and relevance there, because that's what Mr. Christian Dior wanted.

You can instantly spot a Chanel woman, so I want to develop the Dior woman.

Fashion is such an octopus. You're connected to so many people: suppliers, pattern makers, production teams, marketing teams, vendors.

L.A. interests me, the whole band scene and relaxed carefree feel, but it does not mean you have to dress like a hippy.

The fashion world doesn't know the word 'stop,' so you have to make sure there are sublime moments every day.
