The danger is we’re losing sight of what women really want to wear.

I used to spend my nights oversewing dresses for a local dressmaker in order to pay for my school equipment.

I never followed fashion. It’s women who have dictated my conduct.

Karl Lagerfeld never touched a pair of scissors in his life.

A woman is like an actress: she’s always onstage.

The foundation of beauty is the body.

I work for women. I only think for them. If I didn’t like women, I wouldn’t do this job.

I prefer to stay poor.

As a child, I was raised with my grandmother, alongside all my cousins, and the kitchen was always full.

Even if I was in prison, I could be free in my head. I can adapt easily.
