I adore America. It's an extraordinary country. A new country.

I want to thank all the women who have worn my clothes, the famous and the unknown, who have been so faithful to me and given me so much joy.

I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.

I'm so secluded. Very alone.

I couldn't love a woman who inspired me to be totally disinterested. If I fell in love with a woman for an artistic reason, or from the point of view of my work, I think it would rob her of something.

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.

Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.

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

Isn't elegance forgetting what one is wearing?

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

Fashion fades, style is eternal.

The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves.

Dressing is a way of life.

We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.

The most beautiful make-up of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.

A good model can advance fashion by ten years.

Without elegance of the heart, there is no elegance.

I'd really like to be in closer contact with life. I'm a little too distant, I guess. I like to place myself outside.

I am no longer concerned with sensation and innovation, but with the perfection of my style.
