believe hands needs
I believe in the Yves Saint Laurent woman who either has her hands in the pockets of her pantsuit or is holding her lover's hand. She doesn't need a bag.
fashion extravagance needs
Fashion's about extravagance, and everyone needs a bit of that.
fashion teaching thinking
I've been working with Riccardo Tisci from Givenchy.It's been a long collaboration, and I don't think it's going to stop now. It's very important to me. Riccardo is younger than me, so it's great to have someone new teaching you in everything, not just in fashion. I'm teaching him in French style, what a women's style is, but he's teaching me in all of these different styles of music.I love this new world for me. It's refreshing and nourishing to keep learning about new things.
fashion clothes looks
Fashion is not about clothes, it is about a look.
over-you research discovering-yourself
You discover yourself through the research of your work.
today too-much retouching
Today there is too much retouching, and I don't like it, except on me.
beautiful sports football
I am very obsessed with ballet now because it is a very difficult sport and a beautiful one because it is not about money. It's not like playing football or tennis - dance has no sponsors, it's just for the beauty. Maybe it is the only last pure sport.
ideas magazines paper
What I hope I would do is something new, but I still love print. I love to touch paper. I'm not sure if I will ever do a magazine again, but I have plenty of ideas on the subject.
girl fashion thinking
I am not a good professional of fashion. I am not an expert about how clothes are constructed or the history of fashion. I never start with fashion. I always think of the girl and her personality - because all that matters to me when you look at a page is, "Do you want to be that girl?"
moving high-heels giving
Always wear high heels. Yes, they give you power. you move differently, sit differently and even speak differently.
thinking
When everything is good, maybe I think it’s the time to do something else.
attractive elegant
What a women reads makes her more attractive and more elegant than what she wears.
shy looks like-her
Monsier Saint Laurent was pathologically shy, and he made the Saint Laurent woman in his own image. Like her, I am shy. And to protect myself, I adopted something of an androgynous look, just as his women did.
beautiful eye brave
I need a lot of black on my eyes and a little shot of vodka to be brave, because you're beautiful when you relax.
