hate people bores
I hate people who over intellectualize. It bores me deeply.
holiday thinking water
I think it's good that [my granddaughter] here because I lost my parents and now it's great that there's a new generation. And she's taught me new things that I've forgotten. Like, when you're on holiday and see what it's like to see a shell or go into the water for the first time.
beautiful people important
When you have confidence, when you feel loved by people, you can tell them the truth. It's important that I can say the photo isn't beautiful or the photo shoot sucks.
tools helping help-me
Clothing is always a tool that helps me take a picture. But it's never about the clothing.
mom kids thinking
I'm always anxious when it comes to my kids. This always makes me feel very vulnerable. Sometimes you think you aren't a good mama, you always feel a bit guilty when you're a mom. You want to be everywhere.
fun juice stills
I am like a lemon. I'm pressed for more juice. When I have fun, there's still juice. I am not dried up.
fashion children father
I think that life has brought a lot to fashion, and fashion brings plenty to life. I took my children on photo shoots, at the same time, I borrowed my father's sweater for a photo shoot and, then, I am inspired by a Russian princess because of my Russian roots. Everything is all mixed in together.
people important
You're not on your own. You're doing things with other people. This is very important for me.
mean tough
I am not mean at all, I am not tough at all.
fashion crazy serious
Fashion shows used to be more crazy. Now they've become a bit too serious.
fashion light trying
Fashion is supposed to be light and not try too hard.
easier do-it-yourself
It’s funny, everything is so much easier when you do it yourself.
fashion magazines persons
A magazine is not just one person. And a fashion shoot is the same!
crazy eyebrows bleaching
Bleaching eyebrows makes me crazy.
