fashion moving needs
Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.
fashion thinking needs
Fashion is not always about what's new, it's also about what's good. And I think if you need to see what's good, you have to be there.
hug needs armor
Sometimes you don't really need armor to feel protected. Sometimes maybe you need just a chiffon dress to hug you.
needs thinking
Nothing is ever enough for me. I'm always thinking what is wrong, what needs to be fixed.
dress needs orange study wear
I wanted to go out of fashion, to study medicine. I thought, you know, who needs fashion? How important is it if you wear a red dress and an orange jacket? It's not, really.
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.
