We All Look For Lost Time.

Going Out In Paris Was Like Going Out In The '30s Dressed Like The Andrews Sisters. It Was Everything I'd Seen In Books At My Grandparents' House, Only It Was Our Generation.

With The Development Of The Christian Lacroix House In Paris And My Work Notably For The Theater, It Wasn't Serious Doing Things By Half.

Since I Was A Child I've Loved Going To The Opera, Theatre And Ballet.

But The Milanese Have Made Bad Choices, Bad Fashion, And Bad Jewelry.

For Me, Haute Couture Is A Necessity. I Never Would Have Done This Job Were It Not For Haute Couture. It Is A Comfort, A Security. I Almost Feel It Is Our Duty To Continue. Haute Couture Is France. We Have To Keep All The Skills And Craftmanship Alive.
