“Encouragement helps you to go one step more, become better.” — Hubert de Givenchy

I think when you sell your company and are no longer the master of driving it, it's quite difficult.

Fabric is the most extraordinary thing; it has life. You must respect the fabric.

It's a fabulous thing to give life to fabric, to make something move well, the harmony of colour.

I am of tradition, but that doesn't mean I have an old outlook on life.
