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.
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.
