Meterials

Fashion is a very stressful place to work because of the demands of doing the shows - no one expects a writer to produce two books a year on the dot - but it's also a very toxic place to work. Nostalgia is a very complicated subject for me. I'm attracted by nostalgia but I refuse it intellectually. A woman has the age she deserves. I design from instinct. It's the only way I know how to live. What feels good. What feels right. What is needed. Give me a problem and I will approach it creatively, from my gut. I love the 2000s because everyone started to love haute couture. Sometimes the simplest things are the most profound. I wanted to dress the woman who lives and works, not the woman in a painting. I do not have one theme for each season, I just try to make beautiful clothes all year round. Doing collections, doing fashion is like a non-stop dialogue. Go to a place where you're not going to be stressed, because a honeymoon itself can be a stressful thing. I love the 2000s because everyone started to love haute couture. My shows are about the complete woman who swallows it all. It's a question of survival. I try to contrast; life today is full of contrast... We have to change. Dressing up. People just don't do it anymore. We have to change that. You cannot be creative with people around you.
