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.

I was the muse of Tom Ford and Gucci for years, but that was a long time ago.

burglar came god left police son steal time tried
One time, a burglar came to my apartment, so we called the police. My son was here, so I think they left before they tried to steal something. So the police come to my apartment, and they say, 'Oh my God, did they steal everything?' I was like, 'No, it was like that!'

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.

I started as a writer for magazines, and soon they asked me to illustrate my stories. I started from the bottom of the bottom. And I climbed the stairs, one by one.
The Russians are very much more up and down than the French.

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.

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.

To me, makeup is fashion and vice versa. What I dress and what I wear always needs to work with my makeup, which is usually the same anyway.
You don't choose your public; your public chooses you.

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.
I am afraid of blood, but for some reason often I put blood in my photos... I don't know why.
