The couture is what a certain kind of clientele wears. But it's amusing to do because you do it piece by piece. It's another concept. It's much more work.
Beauty with character ages better than perfection
I have no scene, I go everywhere, I adapt
Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time.
I've done many ads because that's my new career. It's an inspiring extension for my mind.
No, I never thought I would like cats.
No, I'm not a French designer either. I'm from nowhere. I'm a European, old European is all I am.
People can drink with their eyes; I can eat with my nose.
Personally, I don't wear fur.
What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second.
I had nearly finished school because I was making effort not that bad on that. But there was a law in Germany after the war. You could not make your final examination before 18, so lots of people who were late because of the way had to do it first.
No. I mean those people really did something for designers I don't think department stores can, could or should do still today. Today the world is different so you have to make it differently. There's TV. There's a lot of things.
It's only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I'm skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I'm big, when I was big, I never thought about it.
I'm very severe with myself and sometimes I miss French cheese, but in your world it's not exactly the same thing.
