I Adore America. It's An Extraordinary Country.

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.

Over The Years I Have Learned That What Is Important In A Dress Is The Woman Who Is Wearing It.

A Designer Who Is Not Also A Couturier, Who Hasn't Learned The Most Refined Mysteries Of Physically Creating His Models, Is Like A Sculptor Who Gives His Drawings To Another Man, An Artisan, To Accomplish.

Dressing Is A Way Of Life. It Brings You Joy. It Can Give You Freedom And Liberation, Help You To Find Yourself And To Move Without Restraint. Isn't Elegance Forgetting What One Is Wearing?

I Love Women. I Love All The Bright And Attractive People And Things Of This World, The Flame And Also The Moth, The Dancer And The Dance.
