I'm not a nostalgic person: I never look back; I always forget.
My name has become a brand - it could be make-up, clothing, perfume.
chance good male picture terrible wear weekend
When in doubt, wear a suit. Look at male politicians: you see them in a suit, and they look fine. But if you see a picture of them on the weekend or on vacation, there's a good chance they look terrible and unstylish.
society
Fashion is a language, for sure, and it is a reflection of society.
mix pair people trendy wear
People think I only wear new clothes, that I'm very trendy, but I like classic things on me, to mix with a trendy pair of shoes.
shows
The most important thing is posture: when you get old, it's the way you walk, the way you stand, that shows it.
I think the 'Harpers Bazaar' woman is not a fashion victim; she understands fashion but is not a victim, you know.
life
I think when I became a grandmother my life changed a lot, and I think I changed personally.
destroy family girls lives
I see girls who are so skinny on the catwalks, and I know so many of them destroy their lives and their family's lives.
wears
I saw 'The Devil Wears Prada.' I don't think it's a reality.
Like most Russians, I am very superstitious, and if I don't get married, I don't get divorced.
I get on well with models, and I like to treat them well.
love
I always love to push myself, because I am not so self-confident.
love pants
I actually love the 'rappers look,' with the saggy pants and oversized clothes. It's very deliberate.
