Decadence Attracts Me. It Suggests A New

I Cannot Pretend To Do Sculpture And Make A Woman The Ridiculous Pedestal Of My Pretensions. To Render Clothing Poetic, Yes--but One Must Preserve Its Dignity As Clothing.

Each Model I Have Represents A Type Of Ideal Women To Me.

I Find Men's Clothing Fascinating Because Sometime Between, Say, 1930 And 1936 A Handful Of Basic Shapes Were Created And Still Prevail As A Sort Of Scale Of Expression, With Which Every Man Can Project His Own Personality And His Own Dignity.

I Tried To Show That Fashion Is An Art. For That, I Followed The Counsel Of My Master Christian Dior And The Imperishable Lesson Of Mademoiselle Chanel. I Created For My Era And I Tried To Foresee What Tomorrow Would Be.

To Be Beautiful, Woman Enough To Have A Black Sweater, Black Skirt And Walk Arm In Arm With The Man She Loves.
