two chocolate black
I love chocolate. Black chocolate with marshmallow inside, caramel inside. If I could only have two foods, I'd take some fantastic chocolate. And some terrible chocolate. I love the Clark Bar.
speaks-french japan common
Even if I'm in Japan and I don't speak Japanese and the woman facing me doesn't speak French but she's dressed in Rykiel, and she recognizes me, then we have a common language right away.
keys sensuality collections
The key to my collections is sensuality.
useless cry runway
It's useless to send models out on the runway to cry.
survival shows
My shows are about the complete woman who swallows it all. It's a question of survival.
fashion interesting proud
I am what I am. Before I was not so proud to make fashion. My family thought fashion wasn't very interesting. So I hid that.
intelligent men essence
The essence of seduction for me in a man, although it stems from his rough, almost rough-neck looks, still contains something of the woman: he must be seductive and intelligent.
fashion art cake
It doesn't matter one damn bit whether fashion is art or not. You don't question whether an incredible chef is an artist or not-his cakes are delicious and that's all that matters.
thinking needs moments
I think in the darkest moments, we need a break.
important breakfast
My breakfast is very important.
clothes lingerie theater
With the exception of lingerie and theater I'm interested in everything to do with clothes and perfumes: everything which is an extension of woman.
clothes design lingerie
I'm not at all interested in doing clothes for movies or stage, in stage dressing or costuming. Nor can I design lingerie, for I never wear any! At one time I used to wear a lot of lingerie but now I'm in a mood of total nudity!
thinking clothes house
I think that clothes should be a shelter like a house or a rug. I think that there is that element of protection and a uniform can be just that.
clothes together elements
My clothes are put together out of different basic elements so that a woman can express the way she wants to look, transform, metamorphosize herself not as the woman I decided but as she herself wants to be.
