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.
color two trying
Almost every collection I do has 200 different references. I don't have two of the same coat, two of the same dress. I have it in one color, in one fabric. I've tried to adapt the culture of couture, and the know-how and the heritage, but I try to update it.
thinking always-trying dresses
I am always trying to put myself inside: Every dress I do, I think, 'If I were a woman, would I wear it?'
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.
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.
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.
