eye people ends
I spend my time backstage at the Lanvin shows, and when I come out at the end, all I see are people's eyes.
fashion using-people doe
How do you stand out as a fashion ad campaign? By using people off the street; it does generate buzz.
beautiful mean hair
All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.
feel-good design looks
Many, many times I find that whatever is looking good on the screen doesn't always look or feel good on the body. So who do we design for - do we design for the screen, or do we design for women?
desire dresses
I like having the freedom to dress as I desire.
dream teacher years
When I was either 7 or 8 years old, I did a sketch every day of my teacher and what she wore. At the end of the year, I gave her the sketchbook. For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams.
dream journey people
I love to travel inside my head, take journeys toward the unknown, meet new people, dream.
fashion thinking said
I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.
formulas comfortable happens
We are comfortable with formulas, but the best happens when the formula doesn't work.
party mean soul
If you take something out of the freezer, it's cold, but what happens when it melts? It's a cool party, a cool person, a cool collection. What does that mean? I'm more interested in things that are uncool, things that have a certain individuality, a certain soul, a certain longevity, emotion, fragility.
beautiful people miserable
I am very much a people person. If I am in a beautiful place but I don't like the people, I am miserable.
love-and-respect respect-women
I love and respect women. I work mostly with women.
sandwiches dessert
I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.
mean people matter
The big room or big suite doesn't mean a lot to me. It is what the people do or don't do that matters.
