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.

I think that if you want to pass emotion, you have to write a letter. Emotions do not pass in SMS or in e-mail.

I spend my time backstage at the Lanvin shows, and when I come out at the end, all I see are people's eyes.

I am always trying to put myself inside: Every dress I do, I think, 'If I were a woman, would I wear it?'

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

I think 'modesty' is a beautiful word today - and a beautiful attitude.
