extreme russians time
The Russians are extreme people: they are generous but crazy at the same time. They always have something to say, and I really like that.
shows
The most important thing is posture: when you get old, it's the way you walk, the way you stand, that shows it.
bit good mom
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.
best looks worst
Sometimes, when you go to airport and look at the people, you see the worst looks - but the worst looks can give you more ideas than the best looks.
people
People say I look like my father. My son is very much like him.
bit pasta picking
I don't have a big appetite. I don't eat a lot, to be honest - never. I'm a bit like a little bird, picking all day long, but I'm not getting pasta or getting all those things, you know?
buy discovered french shop slip
I discovered the slip dress, which I think is one of the more French things because when you take off your clothes, even when to go into a shop to buy something, or you're going to Riccardo Tisci to try on a suit, it's like having protection.
adopted saint women
Monsieur 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.
My hair and make-up secret is 'the messier the better.'
I am afraid of blood, but for some reason often I put blood in my photos... I don't know why.
hate noise walks
I hate mules. I hate the noise when someone walks with mules. Clomp, clomp, clomp. I think it's very not chic. I don't even like a flip-flop. I don't like this noise.
dark love vision work
If Caravaggio was a photographer today, I would love to work with him. I love his dark vision - I have a dark vision.
There are too many 50-year-olds dressing as 20-year-olds.
designers four minimum produce
It's very difficult for designers today. How can someone produce so many shows? Now the minimum is four a year.
