fashion people dramatic
As a slave [to fashion], I can be very dramatic and very demanding of myself and of the people I work with.
fashion kids world
I did not plan to have such a career in the fashion world. All that I wanted, was to have ten kids and raise them!
fashion sometimes unfair
Sometimes in the fashion industry we come across some unfair rules, but no one is obliged to follow them.
fashion creative style
The fashion industry is a free world, with creative codes that can be hardly considered sometimes, but it's also up to women to create their own style, and own trend.
fashion identity today
I have to say that the identity of a fashion designer is international today.
fashion kind my-family
In my family, Fashion was something we never talked about, it was thought of as kind of superficial.
fashion
From the very beginning I've said to women not to follow the fashion rules blindly, and to adapt clothes to suit who they are, and not the contrary.
fashion high-heels stilettos
How can you live the high life if you do not wear the high heels?
fashion paris world
You can create fashion everywhere in the world, but the place where you are crowned is Paris.
moments modern perfume
Perfume is like a parenthesis, a moment of freedom, peace, love and sensuality in between the disturbances of modern living.
expression color trying
Everything I do is really an expression of myself, through colors and shapes and, at the same time, I try to explain what I feel not only as a creator but also as a woman. I cannot separate one from the other.
silence behind-you perfume
Perfume follows you; it chases you and lingers behind you. It's a reference mark. Perfume makes silence talk.
fashion what-matters important
Being one step ahead of a fashion trend is not so important to me. What matters is to always forge ahead.
hands soul mind
Your body can be very female, which is something you can do nothing about, but then you can have the soul, the mind and the spirit of both male and female. The women friends I am closest to somehow have this masculine side to them, they shove their hands in their pockets when they walk: I love that side.
