Luxury must be comfortable

Luxury will be always around, no matter what happens in the world. I like things simple. Money is the most corrosive aspect of life today because it means that all attention to detail is forgotten. We look our best in subdued colors, sophisticated cuts, and a general air of sleek understatement. There are only three things I can do - make a dress, decorate a house, and entertain people.

Being one step ahead of a fashion trend is not so important to me. What matters is to always forge ahead. That is the key of this collection, being yourself. Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live. Instead of buying six things, one thing that you really like. Don't keep buying just for the sake of it. I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes. I always say: To be well dressed you must be well naked.

Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury. Instead of buying six things, one thing that you really like. Don't keep buying just for the sake of it. You have to be luxurious nude. It's difficult to move in the nude in front of a mirror. It's much easier to move when you're dressed. But if you can walk around in the nude easily in front of your man, if you can be luxurious in the nude, then you've really got it. Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury. I never look at other people's work. My mind has to be completely focused on my own illusions.

I like the things around me to be beautiful and slightly dreamy, with a feeling of worldliness. Fashions fade, style is eternal. I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes. 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. There has to be a balance between your mental satisfaction and the financial needs of your company.
