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!
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.
fashion identity today
I have to say that the identity of a fashion designer is international today.
fashion creative style
The fashion industry is a free world, with creative codes that can be hardly considered sometimes, but it's also up to women to create their own style, and own trend.
fashion style important
It's important to know yourself well, in order to create your own style of fashion to suit your own body shape.
fashion interesting proud
I am what I am. Before I was not so proud to make fashion. My family thought fashion wasn't very interesting. So I hid that.
fashion art real
My parents never mentioned anything about fashion in our household, instead we used to talk about literature, theatre, and arts...this is why I have kept a real relation with the Art world, by putting books from the beginning in my shops' windows.
fashion kind my-family
In my family, Fashion was something we never talked about, it was thought of as kind of superficial.
fashion what-matters important
Being one step ahead of a fashion trend is not so important to me. What matters is to always forge ahead.
fashion decision doubt
After all these years of creating my collections, I still doubt my decision even until the last minute before the fashion show, I keep questioning myself and wondering if I did the right thing.
fashion people dramatic
As a slave [to fashion], I can be very dramatic and very demanding of myself and of the people I work with.
fashion art cake
It doesn't matter one damn bit whether fashion is art or not. You don't question whether an incredible chef is an artist or not-his cakes are delicious and that's all that matters.
daughter fashion men
I married a man who was in fashion. I began to work when my daughter Nathalie was about eight or 10 years old. Then one day I began to make a sweater, and eventually the sweater was on the front page of Elle magazine. And the day after I was the queen of knit in America.
