clothes design lingerie
I'm not at all interested in doing clothes for movies or stage, in stage dressing or costuming. Nor can I design lingerie, for I never wear any! At one time I used to wear a lot of lingerie but now I'm in a mood of total nudity!
hands clothes design
I always have a lot of vents and slits in the clothes I design, even inside the pockets so that I can slip my hands inside my clothes and touch my skin. I want to be able to feel my body naked inside my clothes.
clothes lingerie theater
With the exception of lingerie and theater I'm interested in everything to do with clothes and perfumes: everything which is an extension of woman.
beautiful clothes people
People said making clothes inside out was not proper. I disagreed, because clothes that are inside out are as beautiful as a cathedral.
thinking clothes house
I think that clothes should be a shelter like a house or a rug. I think that there is that element of protection and a uniform can be just that.
clothes together elements
My clothes are put together out of different basic elements so that a woman can express the way she wants to look, transform, metamorphosize herself not as the woman I decided but as she herself wants to be.
fashion kids world
I did not plan to have such a career in the fashion world. All that I wanted, was to have ten kids and raise them!
book kids chocolate
When I was a kid, all I liked were books and chocolate.
children reading writing
It was by coincidence that I ended up opening my first shop in 1968, and I haven't stopped since. I now find myself trying to do everything. I couldn't live without creating my collections, without writing, drawing and reading. But I couldn't either live without being close to my children on a daily basis and also to my grandchildren, and to all the people I love. I guess I am like every woman today, one who juggles her work and family life.
smart helpful let-me-go
I can be negatively criticised, but this is actually a positive thing, especially if the critic is smart, and helpful. I am very attentive to critics, they let me go ahead and push myself harder to continue.
proust
You know, the more grown-up you are, the more you like Proust.
heart creative opinion
[Nathalie Rykiel] knows by heart the genetic codes of the brand, and she also has a very contemporary and creative opinions about it.
fashion fashion-industry
The fashion industry can in a certain way be very hard and closed.
girl fashion art
Fashion is also a form of art, and like every kind of art, it has its own way of expression. In other words, if a dress looks better on a thin girl, on a catwalk, during a very specific moment of time and space then it's represented as part of a "fashion Show". It is after all a "Show" and it has to be understood by people that it is a "show" and not real life.
