country insecure hair
I used to be very insecure about my curly hair, because I lived in a country where everybody had blonde straight hair.
makeup hair max
I am a fast dresser, 30 minutes max with hair and makeup. I don't have a uniform, but I like to be comfortable.
hair easier feels
The easier your hair is to manage the happier you'll be with it and the prettier you'll feel.
summer successful hair
In Sardinia one summer my best friend Marisa Berenson and I ironed each other's hair. We used a hot laundry iron and took turns putting our hair on the ironing board, literally ironing it. That's a recipe for straightening that may be highly successful, but is definitely not recommended.
beautiful hair years
You don’t seduce in the same way at my age. You seduce with brains, with talent. Yesterday for lunch I met the most incredible 90-year-old woman. She survived Auschwitz, she was beautiful, she didn’t have white hair, she didn’t wear glasses. She was totally seductive. I just thought, Oh, my God, I still have time ahead of me.
I never knew what I wanted to do, but I knew the kind of woman I wanted to be.
design hard life relationship work
The most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. And then after that, I'd say once you have that, it may be hard work, but you can actually design your life.
against healthy image industry putting represent responsibility wall women
The fashion industry has a responsibility to represent a healthy image of women, but to start weighing them and putting them against a wall and making them feel like animals? No.
aspects behave freedom however worked
I used the aspects of being a woman to my advantage, but I worked for myself, not a big corporation, so I was lucky to have the freedom to behave however I liked.
designed women
I have always been attracted to clothes designed by women. Coco Chanel, Vionnet, Norma Kamali, Donna Karan. They have a little more - how do I put it? - understanding.
The Chinese consumer is everybody. It's very simple.
afford bit
I was lucky because I got so successful so early, and when you get successful early, then you can afford to be a little bit humble.
interested stories women
Women inspire me... so I enjoy women's stories and biographies. I am interested in all women.
Everyone knows I married a prince, and then I married a billionaire.
