After every show, I say to Hania [Destelle, a friend], ‘They hated it.’

Some days I feel like a piano: kind of short, always in black & white, always expected to produce music.

For me, Lancome was more than just a brand. There was something very nostalgic about the name, about the whole story.

For me, the sketching of dresses was about fantasy and dreams. In my little room at home, I felt that I was somewhere else. In Paris, for instance.

With fashion, I barely finish one collection before I must start another.

Everyone wants to be young and skinny. This is awful. Curves are marvelous. Wrinkles are hypnotizing. Why not just be happy with who you are?

What is beautiful for you may not be beautiful to someone else. Or whatever is beautiful here may not be beautiful there and what is sometimes beautiful today is not necessarily beautiful tomorrow. Perhaps this is the story of fashion and what makes it move forward, the fact that there is no decision whatsoever with what’s wrong.
