A fragrance is a veritable story, told and explained in scent, in notes, in impressions. It's a score based on the emotions of each instant, a captivating music of the senses.

In fashion we're lucky, we make dreams come true.

We are comfortable with formulas, but the best happens when the formula doesn't work.

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.

The designers, photographers and models I work with, they are really hard-working people who are devoting their lives to fashion. They're kind of like nuns of fashion.

It was not the story of design or clothes, it was the fantasy of women that made me want to work in fashion.

At Yves Saint Laurent, I felt like the son-in-law - like I was part of the family, but not quite. When I was fired, I felt like the widow.
