fell great group love met people
I used to hate L.A., but I met such a great group of people there that I fell in love with it.
dress needs orange study wear
I wanted to go out of fashion, to study medicine. I thought, you know, who needs fashion? How important is it if you wear a red dress and an orange jacket? It's not, really.
beautiful clothes fit
Our clothes are not always beautiful on the hanger, but put them on, and they fit like bathing suits.
dresses fantasy women
I like dresses for night; I like after-party more than party. I like the mystery; I like the dream, like fantasy dresses. I think, also, that you make women dream.
exactly
Me, as a designer who is not exactly skinny, all I want is comfortable clothes.
existed house saint takes time
When you come into a house like Saint Laurent, or Chanel, or Lanvin, and you go into a place that existed before you were born and will exist after you die, it takes some time to get in, to get to people, and to get the energy of the place.
clothes shining emotion
When a woman's clothes are in harmony with her emotions, she shines from within.
clothes perfection not-interested
I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.
elegant who-you-are
Elegant is not what you wear, and it's not about how you wear it, but it's more about who you are.
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.
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.
