adopted saint women
Monsieur Saint Laurent was pathologically shy, and he made the Saint Laurent woman in his own image. Like her, I am shy. And to protect myself, I adopted something of an androgynous look, just as his women did.
designers work
I am very excited to be able to work more with young designers and support them.
dark love vision work
If Caravaggio was a photographer today, I would love to work with him. I love his dark vision - I have a dark vision.
people
People say I look like my father. My son is very much like him.
bit pasta picking
I don't have a big appetite. I don't eat a lot, to be honest - never. I'm a bit like a little bird, picking all day long, but I'm not getting pasta or getting all those things, you know?
extreme russians time
The Russians are extreme people: they are generous but crazy at the same time. They always have something to say, and I really like that.
love
I always love to push myself, because I am not so self-confident.
bit good mom
Sometimes you think you aren't a good mama; you always feel a bit guilty when you're a mom. You want to be everywhere.
asked climbed illustrate soon
I started as a writer for magazines, and soon they asked me to illustrate my stories. I started from the bottom of the bottom. And I climbed the stairs, one by one.
maybe paparazzi
I always try to be nice to the paparazzi because finally, maybe one day, they won't ask for me, and I will regret it.
advertising money
I could live very quietly, do advertising to earn money.
destroy family girls lives
I see girls who are so skinny on the catwalks, and I know so many of them destroy their lives and their family's lives.
life
I think when I became a grandmother my life changed a lot, and I think I changed personally.
arc joan runway
I want to be the Joan of Arc of fashion. I want to be the link between the runway and the real woman.
