I am not interested in perfection, and neither are the women who wear my clothes.

I want to know where is that committee in Switzerland that sits to decide what is in and what is out. I don't listen to the formula makers. I think maybe I have a selective hearing disorder.

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

I always wear a dinner jacket. I never have this definition of what goes for the morning or the evening or what works for the weekend.

When I'm traveling the world, I don't ever look anymore at the geography - just enough to catch galleries and paintings.

The whole season thing is nonsense. It's either beautiful or it isn't. That's something I really learned when I started collecting dresses.

I always think, if I were an editor, and I was invited to a show, and I would have to wait for 45 minutes in the dark or in the cold or in the heat, maybe I would like to have a fresh drink or a piece of chocolate.
