Before me, there was no space fashion, nobody spoke of it...

For a woman to be loved, she usually ought to be naked.

Hundreds of times it was rumored that I was bankrupt. I am pleased people worried about me, but I was never bothered.

There s a lot of money to be made from creation in originality. Something new and different is always chic.

I have many interests in many fields and I like to be there, where the work is being done, not just to see it on the paper.

I have no patience with people who think that if you put your name on a perfume, you're an aristocrat, but a peasant if you put it on a sardine tin. They both smell, non?

You see, success today is popularity, not privilege.

I wanted a space of my own, something very big and free where one could do whatever one wanted, where things would always be different. I wanted to stage avant-garde productions that had nothing to do with the bourgeois vaudeville theater or classical comedies. - Pierre Cardin on Espace Cardin<(i>, a theater building that also houses an art gallery, a buffet-style restaurant, and a private cinema.

I wash with my own soap - wear my own perfume ... go to bed with my own sheets ... have my own food products ... I live on me. - on endorsements.

The dress is a vase which the body follows. My clothes are like modules in which bodies move. It's a completely new concept in fashion. Others follow the breasts, the thigh, the hip. Not me. I'm not interested in the body!

The jean! The jean is the destructor ... a dictator! It is destroying creativity.
