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.
moments modern perfume
Perfume is like a parenthesis, a moment of freedom, peace, love and sensuality in between the disturbances of modern living.
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.
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.
daughter fashion men
I married a man who was in fashion. I began to work when my daughter Nathalie was about eight or 10 years old. Then one day I began to make a sweater, and eventually the sweater was on the front page of Elle magazine. And the day after I was the queen of knit in America.
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.
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.
people listening sometimes
I was rather free, and I always did what I wanted to do, sometimes without listening to the people who warned me not to do this or that.
fashion sometimes unfair
Sometimes in the fashion industry we come across some unfair rules, but no one is obliged to follow them.
fashion paris world
You can create fashion everywhere in the world, but the place where you are crowned is Paris.
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?
girl fashion art
Fashion is also a form of art, and like every kind of art, it has its own way of expression. In other words, if a dress looks better on a thin girl, on a catwalk, during a very specific moment of time and space then it's represented as part of a "fashion Show". It is after all a "Show" and it has to be understood by people that it is a "show" and not real life.
book kids chocolate
When I was a kid, all I liked were books and chocolate.
