hated shows
After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’
hate down-and why-not
Why not touch things that we hate and turn them upside down and inside out?
sports morning hate
I do sport at the gym a few times a week, but I hate it. Work is my only remedy. I feel so twisted and horrible in the morning, but then I go to the office and I start feeling better. Work is my Tylenol. Extra-strength.
fashion hate life-is
To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.
fell great group love met people
I used to hate L.A., but I met such a great group of people there that I fell in love with it.
above allowed regular
I'm not a religious person in the regular sense, but in the Bible you're not allowed to steal, you're not allowed to lie and you're not allowed to feel you're above other people.
afford paris three time women
Fashion is not enough anymore. It's not just about what you wear. I mean, I don't know how many women can afford to take the time to come to Paris for three fittings.
art design essence maybe object pragmatic sort word
'Commercial' is not the word that has to be said only by CEOs. It has to be something that is maybe the essence of design, because design has some sort of art in it and creation, but it's also some object that you have to use. There is also this pragmatic end to it.
existed house saint takes time
When you come into a house like Saint Laurent, or Chanel, or Lanvin, and you go into a place that existed before you were born and will exist after you die, it takes some time to get in, to get to people, and to get the energy of the place.
believe died easy hair mother time water work
My father, who was a hair colourist, died when I was young, so my mother had to work very hard. But at the same time, I do believe that if you have everything, it is easy to make a dinner. When you only have flour and water and olives and potatoes, you have to be much more creative, and that's what my mother is all about.
anywhere basically designer everywhere exist good job time women
I think a good designer can exist everywhere and anywhere and all the time. It's all about being good, and I think that our job basically is to make women and men look good.
life stay work
Stay big in your work and small in your life.
needs thinking
Nothing is ever enough for me. I'm always thinking what is wrong, what needs to be fixed.
job women
My job is to do. My job is to make women beautiful. What do I have to say?
