Pierre Cardin

“My name is more important than myself.”

“Fashion is not enough. I don't want to be just a designer.”

“I've done it all. I even have my own water... I'll do perfumes, sardines. Why not?”

“My goal was the street. To have my name on the street. For me, the street is the museum of the masses.”

“The clothes that I prefer are those I invent for a life that does not yet exist.”

“I was born an artist. But I am a businessman.”

“For me, the fabric is nearly secondary. What is important is the cut, the shape, the line.”

“The dress is a vase which the body follows. My clothes are like modules in which bodies move.”

“I believe in the shock of the new.”

“I wash my own underwear. I'm a normal man.”

“Style doesn't have a date.”

“For me, it's the same to make a dress or a lamp.”

“I have no need to be fashionable. I am fashion.”

“I am my own financier. Everything I have is mine.”
