The Chanel woman? I don't even need to see; I smell her from round the corner.

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

In the nineties, it was common to see people who expressed themselves through one designer - the Jil Sander woman, the Martin Margiela woman. You saw her on the street, and you knew who she was.

If I see a fashion show with literal influences, it doesn't make me think any more. It doesn't make me dream.

My challenge is to find a beautiful balance: to make women beautiful, to make a woman dream to wear a beautiful outfit.

I see there is a lot of behaviour in men's fashion, which is systematic. It's a lot about all these kind of clothes that can be easily combined with each other, and it's less and less, I think, about making a fashion statement.
