I always knew I wanted to create. I used to sit in my room for hours drawing and making things. I once got into trouble for cutting up my mother's lampshades to make a dress. I was three.

A lot of self-importance goes on in the fashion industry. I'm not like that.

Clothes can transform your mood and confidence.

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 spend a lot of time on eBay buying vintage. I also really like Alexander Wang, Miu Miu, Vivienne Westwood, McQueen and Balmain.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
