dress fashion makeup needs vice wear work
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.
bra feminine lace wearing women
We are very luck to be women, so even if we're wearing trousers, I always wear them with some lace underwear or a very feminine bra - I like that.
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.
deeper definitely lower sort tom wear
When I was working with Tom Ford, he would just look at me and ask, 'Will you wear it?' I'd say, 'Ah, too long, too short, lower waist, deeper V, unbutton' - that sort of thing. I don't create clothes, but I definitely know how to make them come alive.
apply best wear
I never like to wear too much makeup, and sometimes the best makeup is when it's not too perfect. I like to sometimes apply my makeup with my fingers.
high mario since stopped wearing worked
I started wearing high heels when I first worked with Mario Testino. He is tall; I had to be at his height. And I have never stopped since then.
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.
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.
wears
I saw 'The Devil Wears Prada.' I don't think it's a reality.
good love noise wear
I love the noise of my wooden clogs on my wooden floor. Dancers wear clogs. They're good for you.
becomes bit brands business celebrity dressing fashion fight good job red wears work
I am not a celebrity. I work with celebrities, and it is very difficult. When a celebrity wears a dress, it's good for business, so brands fight for the red carpet. Me? I don't like it, because fashion becomes a job about dressing celebrities. And it's a bit boring.
asked climbed illustrate soon
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.
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.
