fashion moving needs
Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.
moving-forward creating desire
I certainly can't complain. I work six days a week, if not seven, and eighteen hours out of twenty-four - fortunately, with a great deal of pleasure. Why? Because I only do something if I want to do it; I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, moving, inventing.
beautiful fashion moving
What is beautiful for you may not be beautiful to someone else. Or whatever is beautiful here may not be beautiful there and what is sometimes beautiful today is not necessarily beautiful tomorrow. Perhaps this is the story of fashion and what makes it move forward, the fact that there is no decision whatsoever with what’s wrong.
moving creating desire
I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, inventing. The day I cease to learn, I must stop.
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.
cool gives
I hate the word 'cool.' It gives me a rash.
I hate bridges. I'm always very insecure on bridges.
Our logo for Lanvin is a mother and a daughter. I've always said, 'It's not a lion, and it's not a horse. It's a mother and a daughter.' I find the logo very emotional.
accused ask cannot designers models poor rich talk women
We are being accused that some models are anorexic. But we as fashion designers cannot be blamed, because you know, when I talk to women around the world, rich and poor and young and old and intellectual and not, what they want to be is skinny. You ask them, 'What is your dream?' It's to be skinny. That's all they want.
If I am in a beautiful place, but I don't like the people, I am miserable.
beautiful people want
All I want to do is make people beautiful.
piano white black
Some days I feel like a piano: kind of short, always in black & white, always expected to produce music.
dream doctors trying
My dream is to be a doctor. I'm almost working in a laboratory, because I'm trying new techniques, new directions and fabrics, new weaving.
children wonder fats
I was a fat child; I was asthmatic. No wonder I'm a hypochondriac.
