“Playing with fashion is an art. The first rule is don’t burn your wings.”

What is wonderful about my art is that dream and reality can become one. There is just one step between the two.

If, in ready-to-wear, a garment is manufactured according to standard sizes, the haute couture garment adapts to any imperfection in order to eliminate it.

Fashion is like a party. Getting dressed is preparing to play a role.

To be beautiful, woman enough to have a black sweater, black skirt and walk arm in arm with the man she loves.

Anyone who reaches for great expression has to be careful of the ridiculous.

I participated in the transformation of my era. I did it with clothes, which is surely less important than music, architecture, painting but whatever it’s worth I did it.

A woman’s wardrobe shouldn’t change every six months.

I have always believed that fashion was not only to make women more beautiful, but also to reassure them, give them confidence.

I like to watch the way a model moves in my clothes, the way she gives them life, or if they are wrong, stillborn, the way her life rejects them.

My name will be written in fiery letters on the Champs Elysees.

Each model I have represents a type of ideal women to me.

For me, perfume, must be adapted to fashion, not the other way around.

Le plus beau vêtement qui puisse habiller une femme, ce sont les bras de l’homme qu’elle aime. Mais, pour celles qui n’ont pas eu la chance de trouver ce bonheur, je suis là.

You should be able to use the pieces you already own and add to them. Because they are like timeless classics.

The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves. But for those who haven’t had the fortune of finding this happiness, I am there.

It pains me physically to see a woman victimized, rendered pathetic by fashion.

I think I’d been limiting myself in some ways just writing in first person all the time.

What do you think leads us to the windows in the first place?

We breathe in our first language, and swim in our second.

For a first look at someone we may sleep with, or a last look at someone we love.

That really fuels me and for some, it’s the first time they have seen Aladdin.

The first World War in so many ways shaped the 20th century and really remade our world for the worse.

What fuels me is that there are a lot of people coming to Broadway and to the show [Aladdin] for the first time.

I remember the first time I saw a Broadway show and how excited I was.
