But The Milanese Have Made

Italy Is A Divided Country Without A Center.

Haute Couture Should Be Fun, Foolish And Almost Unwearable.

I'd Experienced The '40s And '50s By Looking At My Grandparents' Old Clothes, Books, And Magazines

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.

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.
