boredom concepts
Boredom is a concept that I don't understand.
feminist
I am more feminist than feminists.
two orange tea
If I'm in Italy, I'm going to have a cappuccino and two small brioches and then a mix of orange and grapefruit. I don't drink tea in Italy.
beautiful shoes pumps
A good pump is a silhouette, like the bone structure of the face. It's like a beautiful face with no make-up. You can cover a not-so-beautiful face with make-up, but it is just a mask - it is the same with shoes.
piano keys black
My favorite sound is definitely mules. If it was an instrument, it's really pingthe touch of the black keys of the piano.
fashion high-heels shoes
I wouldn't take it as a compliment if someone looked at one of my shoes and said, 'Oh, that looks like a comfortable shoe.' There is a heel that is too high to walk in, certainly. But who cares? You don't have to walk in high heels.
hate garden high-heels
I hate the idea of natural. For example, I prefer gardens to wild nature. I like to see the human touch. High heels are a complete invention - an extravagance. They're far from natural, but it's the impracticality that I adore. I prefer the useless to the useful, the sophisticated to the natural.
hate comfort really-depressing
I hate the whole concept of comfort!
design age theater
At age 12 or 13, I wanted to design for showgirls - for the theater!
dream children periods
There's nothing I liked visually of the period I was a child. There was no dream in it, and nothing sparkled.
fierce customers
I like my customer to be fierce.
feel-good house disease
I have this disease that if I feel good somewhere, I... buy a house.
wish legs mets
I haven't yet met a woman who told me, 'I wish I had shorter legs.'
inspiring graduation dream
It is a great thing to be at your age... You are at a very specific time of age ... an age where you can follow all your dreams. But also at an age when you can change-you can change your dreams, you can change paths. When you start something when you're young, you should not decide 'this is it, this is my way and I will go all the way.' You have the age where you can change. You get experience, and maybe dislike it and go another way. Your age is still an age of exploration.
