morning weekend definitions
I always wear a dinner jacket. I never have this definition of what goes for the morning or the evening or what works for the weekend.
dream home somewhere-else
For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams. In my little room at home, I felt that I was somewhere else. In Paris, for instance.
names stories nostalgic
For me, Lancome was more than just a brand. There was something very nostalgic about the name, about the whole story.
fashion thinking needs
Fashion is not always about what's new, it's also about what's good. And I think if you need to see what's good, you have to be there.
song book writing
A singer can quit once he or she has made ten great songs; a director can finish once he or she has made five amazing films; a writer just needs to write three great books.
dream fashion lucky
In fashion we're lucky, we make dreams come true.
sports morning hate
I do sport at the gym a few times a week, but I hate it. Work is my only remedy. I feel so twisted and horrible in the morning, but then I go to the office and I start feeling better. Work is my Tylenol. Extra-strength.
fashion hate life-is
To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.
fashion real simple
I think that we are in a very strange time, when everybody is thinking about what is going to happen, and everybody is kind of cleaning house a little bit. In the fashion world, we are doing something similar. We are taking the fake out and being a little bit more real and simple.
fashion winning thinking
I think fashion is about longevity and doing your work. It isn't about winning or losing. It's about process, keeping it going.
fashion fantasy
Fashion is about having a fantasy.
fashion design feelings
Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.
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.
dream fashion spring
I was thinking recently, If the body really is the new dress, as some are saying - with women buying boobs, butts, faces - then who needs a dressmaker? So I started designing spring like a plastic surgeon - everything stretchy and nude. But after three weeks, I was so bored with myself and the world, I began adding diamond butterflies and chiffon and colors. I realized that fashion is not about second skin. It's not the perfect white shirt or camel jacket. What women need is a dream.
