dream philosophy exercise
H&M approached us to collaborate, and see if we could translate the dream we created at Lanvin to a wider audience, not just a dress for less. I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public. This has been an exceptional exercise, where two companies at opposite poles can work together because we share the same philosophy of bringing joy and beauty to men and women around the world.
beautiful people want
All I want to do is make people beautiful.
fashion moving needs
Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.
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.
writing thinking play
I don't think that you can write music if you don't know how to play an instrument. You have to know the basics, then you can go forward.
writing thinking letters
I think that if you want to pass emotion, you have to write a letter. Emotions do not pass in SMS or in e-mail.
people persons
I am very much a people person.
addresses clubs
I'm not going into the cool club. It's not my address.
party meditation television
I don't go out to parties because I'd look terrible in pictures. My escape is television - it's like meditation to me.
fashion chocolate sensual
Fashion is instinctive and sensual. Learn to love what you wear. It should feel like eating chocolates...wi thout the calories
thinking care designer
I don't think you can be a designer if you don't care.
wrinkles hair gray
I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.
