price-tag shopping soul
Style is the only thing you can't buy. It's not in a shopping bag, a label, or a price tag. It's something reflected from our soul to the outside world. An emotion.
flats
Wear flats. You're short. It's much cooler not to pretend.
stories scent emotion
A fragrance is a veritable story, told and explained in scent, in notes, in impressions. It's a score based on the emotions of each instant, a captivating music of the senses.
relevant
I'd rather be relevant than cool.
moving-forward creating desire
I certainly can't complain. I work six days a week, if not seven, and eighteen hours out of twenty-four - fortunately, with a great deal of pleasure. Why? Because I only do something if I want to do it; I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, moving, inventing.
fake-people fashion reputation
In fashion, we have a reputation for being such a façade, fake people, but none of the fashion people who I know are fake.
addresses clubs
I'm not going into the cool club. It's not my address.
names stories nostalgic
For me, Lancome was more than just a brand. There was something very nostalgic about the name, about the whole story.
formulas comfortable happens
We are comfortable with formulas, but the best happens when the formula doesn't work.
sandwiches dessert
I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.
love-and-respect respect-women
I love and respect women. I work mostly with women.
curves wrinkles why-not
Everyone wants to be young and skinny. This is awful. Curves are marvelous. Wrinkles are hypnotizing. Why not just be happy with who you are?
hated shows
After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’
wrinkles hair gray
I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.
