My dream is to save women from nature.

On vacation, you can wear all the colorful and casual clothing that you like, but you must always be elegant.

I wanted to be considered a good craftsman. I wanted my dresses to be constructed like buildings, molded to the curves of the female form, stylizing its shape.

A country, a style or an epoch are interesting only for the idea behind them.

The detail is as important as the essential is. When it is inadequate, it destroys the whole outfit.

Haute couture is like an orchestra, for which only Balenciaga is the conductor. The rest of us are just musicians, following the directions he gives us.

After women, flowers are the most lovely thing God has given the world.

You can never really go wrong if you take nature as an example.

Bright reds - scarlet, pillar-box red, crimson or cherry - are very cheerful and youthful. There is certainly a red for everyone.

Finally, everything that has been part of my life, whether I wanted it to or not, has expressed itself in my dresses.
