I'm constantly correcting young people and fashion students in this nation when they say "Well, I do couture." By definition, you don't.

I want to give haute couture a kind of wink, a sense of humour - to introduce the whole sense of freedom one sees in the street into high fashion; to give couture the same provocative and arrogant look as punk - but, of course, with luxury and dignity and style.
