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.
children important family-life
It is a very important matter, as a woman, to juggle everything... Your professional life, family, children etc.
important breakfast
My breakfast is very important.
important
I can't go any place without going to museums. It's very important for me.
writing night important
In the same way, I can wake up with a very positive idea of what I want to do for my collection, and be completely desperate at night regarding the same thing. And I do a lot of other things too: Writing for me is almost as important as drawing my collection.
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 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.
