As soon as I am up, I brush my hair. I eat breakfast first: tea and brown bread, and sometimes a fresh fruit juice like orange or grapefruit. I write notes on the previous day in my notebook, then I shower.
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.
