I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.

I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, inventing. The day I cease to learn, I must stop.

I wanted to see people from different age groups, body shapes and personalities wearing Lanvin That is what Lanvin is all about and represents - we dont only do clothes for 20-year-old girls. I love to see mature women wearing Lanvin as well. I love wrinkles, I love grey hair.

A singer can quit once he or she has made ten great songs; a director can finish once he or she has made five amazing films; a writer just needs to write three great books.

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

I adore women, and the one thing I want to do more than anything is to see a transformation of personality when someone puts on one of my dresses.

How do you stand out as a fashion ad campaign? By using people off the street it does generate buzz.
