1968 was the beginning of the hippie movement in fashion. That movement made fashion change completely. It was not necessary to be always dressed up. You could be dressed the way you wanted - it was absolute freedom.
I hate wasting time getting dressed. I like to put something on and just think, 'Yes. That's it.'
I wanted women wearing my sweaters to give the impression they were naked. The aim wasn't to impose outfits but to stay as close as possible to women's bodies and their freedom of movement.
I became the world's queen of sweaters without even knowing how one was made.
My shows are about the complete woman who swallows it all. It's a question of survival.
I was fascinated by stripes from the start. On clothing, they follow a woman's movements.
