My biggest icon is Liz Taylor because I don’t think she had great taste but I loved her energy.

Maybe people have no idea how much work is behind a picture. It can seem very effortless but there is a lot of work. It’s exactly like doing ballet. It’s hours and hours but when you go onstage it’s just the pleasure of dancing.

In photo shoots, I rely on instinct. Which is not to say I don't bring ideas to a project or consider it beforehand.

I think it's good that [my granddaughter] here because I lost my parents and now it's great that there's a new generation. And she's taught me new things that I've forgotten. Like, when you're on holiday and see what it's like to see a shell or go into the water for the first time.

Each woman needs to know herself and think that the clothes are here to make her more beautiful, because the person is more important than the clothes.

Fashion is supposed to be light and not try too hard.

I need a lot of black on my eyes and a little shot of vodka to be brave, because you're beautiful when you relax.
