She opened the door for all the pop girls out there today, many of whom I dress and who do respect her and give her props. We all owe her a debt of gratitude. - Jeremy Scott.

There is nobody like Madonna. She directs herself, is talented, tough and interesting. She inspires women and men to follow her. She rules her own world. Working with Madonna has been a fabulous experience, one of the best of my career.
We have the same vision. She’s unique.
She’s feminine, but at the same time, she’s the biggest man I know. She’s an incredible woman.
- Jean Paul Gaultier
