I never - you know also one of the things that would save me for a man my age, it was not that easy to lose that much weight and fall down and look like something draped.
No, and I never, ever eat in between the meals. I control it well enough and with no pills, and I sleep seven hours a night. I go to bed. I fall asleep, and I wake up seven hours later, and this is the most important.
There is no marriage, yet, for human beings and animals. I never thought that I would fall in love like this with a cat.
I never fall in love.
I sleep seven hours. If I go to bed at two, I wake up at nine. If I go to bed at midnight, I wake up at seven. I don't wake up before - the house can fall apart, but I sleep for seven hours.
It's very soft, and it's all a little shiny,
The inside is all very refined with tons of details that make it very expensive.
Everything is about cut. But worse than couture cuts. The dresses from far away, you think that it is a little T-shirt. And then you get near to it, you are scared by the craftsmanship put into that dress.
Every coat is different and in every kind of material,
My family is from there. I thought it was my moment in time to show a little of what this part of Europe is all about -- the poetry, the inspiration, the art and the spirit and the feeling of that area.
Maybe there's a little '70s touch, ... One has to find something,
It's all about feminine, fluid, bright colors for the prints. Lots of prints. It's very feminine in a neo-romantic mood, but at the same time very simple. And sometimes, to make it not too soft and too sweet, there are all those flowers and colors.
It's the revival of color, movement, liberty. It's fashion with less intellectual pretension. It's very down-to-earth and not at all up-to-the-moon.
This is what I think is modern. It's like wearing a couture jacket with a pair of jeans.
