A collection is not just one basic idea. It comes from something that is in the air, something you suddenly like and put down on paper and then work out.
Fashion is about two things: the evolution and the opposite.
Elegance has nothing to do with fashion.
I buy my shoes a size too small. I like the way it feels.
The woman is the most perfect doll that i have dressed with delight and admiration.
I always loved advertising. If I hadn’t been in fashion, I’d have been in advertising.
I love classic beauty. It’s an idea of beauty with no standard.
The secret to modeling is not being perfect. What one needs is a face that people can identify in a second. You have to be given what’s needed by nature, and what’s needed is to bring something new.
For me, Chanel is like music. There are certain notes and you have to make another tune with them.
Success nullifies. You then have to do it again, preferably differently.
The advantage of Fashion is that there is no racism.
Guilty feelings about clothes are totally unnecessary. A lot of people earn their living by making clothes, so you should never feel bad.
Kate Middleton has a nice silhouette and she is the right girl for that boy. I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, her sister struggles. I don’t like the sister’s face. She should only show her back.
I do my job like I breathe – so if I can’t breathe I’m in trouble.
Today couture has to be expensive, but it shouldn’t look expensive.
I’m open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.
I’ve only wanted paper and beautiful colors. It was my dream, and it still is my dream. And books. They’re all I need, and the rest I can do without.
Keep the best, forget the rest.
My innocence didn’t always help me, but it did preserve something in me that maybe others don’t have anymore. I’m inside my bubble, you could say, and thankfully so, because I don’t think daily life is always great. It protects me.
The best way to know people is to work with them.
