Specialist note

You can't separate fashion from the world. Fashion is the way we live. T.S. Eliot said that we prepare a face to meet the faces we meet. That's what fashion is about. Dress designers lent me textures, shapes, patterns that became the ally of my true work, which was always about women - what was going on beneath their clothes, beneath their hats. In their heads.
