I think that we are in a very strange time, when everybody is thinking about what is going to happen, and everybody is kind of cleaning house a little bit. In the fashion world, we are doing something similar. We are taking the fake out and being a little bit more real and simple.

I was a fat child; I was asthmatic. No wonder I'm a hypochondriac.

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

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

Fashion is like life. It needs fear and uncertainty if you are to move forward.

If it’s not edible, it’s not food. If it’s not wearable, it’s not fashion.

There is nothing scarier than being ‘the designer of the moment,’ because the moment ends.
