diva far glasses tired
I'm so tired of this vision of fashion of a diva with a big ego, and you think of big dark glasses to be pretentious and keep far away from the people.
dresses friendship known love mix talents time
I mix talents and friendship, which is not very professional, but it's my way of thinking. So I love Azzedine Alaia, because I've known him for 30 years, and he's making my dresses most of the time.
change
If you don't want to get bored with what you're doing, you have to change.
best obviously stay
When you're getting old, obviously you try to put on the best cream, you have massages, you try to stay beautiful, but I think wrinkles can sometimes be more beautiful than having none.
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.
attitude certain lose prefer wear
You lose attitude when you feel too comfortable, so I prefer to wear clothes that have a certain edge to them.
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.
certain legs move
You can be beautiful with big breasts; you can be beautiful in your 40s. If you don't have perfect ankles, still you can move your legs in a certain way and look very sexy.
cannot course cover
When you're editor-in-chief of a big magazine, you cannot be a cover girl for MAC; you cannot be the face of Givenchy - of course you can't; it's doesn't go with the job.
