love mostly paris people quite retired
Paris is mostly retired people - I love it, and it's a beautiful city, but it's quite slow.
ladylike less life photos private
My private life is a lot more ladylike and less sultry than the fashion photos I imagine.
campaigns
Most makeup campaigns are not in black and white.
knows people
If I like a make-up artist's look, even if nobody knows about her, I use her. New people give me energy.
covered
You can be covered and be very sexy. It's not what you show; it's what you have in mind, the way you cross your legs, the way you talk to people.
chanel kennedy knew saw
The first Chanel jacket that I saw - that I knew was Chanel - was on TV. It was on Mrs. Kennedy - the pink one.
ballet good similar
I think that ballet is very good for the body. It's very similar to yoga, because you have to hold a position.
ballet hour less means morning
Each morning I do my ballet class for one hour; after that, it means one hour less to get ready.
facebook though
I'm not a Facebook girl. Even though there is a fake Facebook with my name, it's not me. I'm not on Twitter; it's not me.
buy clothes trends
Only buy clothes that you plan to keep forever. It's important to see trends for what they are: a game.
create entire makeup starts takes
The hair and makeup is very important in a fashion picture. When I create a look for a girl, it starts with the makeup. Sometimes it takes an entire day to find the look.
age beautiful good great needs recognize waist whatever
I think that each woman, whatever age, needs to recognize something good in her body. Someone has beautiful legs, someone has beautiful hair, someone else has beautiful decolletage or a beautiful waist or beautiful hands. Everyone has something great.
love role
You know it's very important, the role of a mother... I don't know, but it's feminism to me to love your kids.
competition
You can't put yourself into competition with a magazine like 'Vogue.' You have to create something new, something different.
