thinking long trying
I think that when you're taking pictures with my principles, you can try anything. Dare to do a lot of things - dare with sexuality, dare to break taboos as long as it remains photogenic. As long as I find an elegance and beauty in it, I am not afraid to tackle anything.
fashion artist tough
Fashion is very tough, and we shouldn't forget that before designers were money-makers, they were artists.
muse
Once you start being a muse, you cannot stop being a muse.
thinking chic born
I think you are born chic. You cannot be chic. It is something you cannot learn.
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.
Like most Russians, I am very superstitious, and if I don't get married, I don't get divorced.
french mom work
My mom read French 'Elle' when I was a little girl, and so, when I was 15 or 16, I said, 'I want to work in fashion.'
cool exciting london mind small
London Fashion Week isn't the most organised, but I don't mind that. It's such an exciting place - it's small and cool.
love pants
I actually love the 'rappers look,' with the saggy pants and oversized clothes. It's very deliberate.
There are so many magazines and so many editors out there that you have to be different.
You don't choose your public; your public chooses you.
betty france la looking older people sort stay woman women
We have the sort of beautiful older woman here in Paris. People like Loulou de la Falaise and Betty Catroux, all these beautiful looking women over 60... So there is culture here in France that even if you are older, you can stay beautiful.
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.
