To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.

Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.

I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.

I barely finish one pre-collection before I must start on another. Sales start, but I am already elsewhere creatively. The men's show is being prepared, but we also need to think about accessories, perfumes and other items. In sum, I never stop.

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

Making them feel gorgeous and comfortable is my way of making women's lives easier.

I like first class, but I don't like first class people - I prefer the people in coach. I like fine restaurants, but prefer the taste of McDonalds. I like to be perfect, but I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection. I know, I am a walking contradiction.
