Coco Chanel was always doing things with ballet, so it is a tradition clashing fashion and ballet.

You discover yourself through the research of your work.

I mix talents and friendship, which is not very professional, but it's my way of thinking. So I love Azzedine Alaia, because I've known him for 30 years, and he's making my dresses most of the time.

I am very surprised by someone like Alexander Wang. I am amazed how he is good with fashion, with business, with public relations himself, with an attitude in his clothes that is spoken immediately.

You lose attitude when you feel too comfortable, so I prefer to wear clothes that have a certain edge to them.
