"Grandmother" doesn't mean that you have gray hair and you retire and stay home cooking cakes for your grandchildren.

I've been working with Riccardo Tisci from Givenchy.It's been a long collaboration, and I don't think it's going to stop now. It's very important to me. Riccardo is younger than me, so it's great to have someone new teaching you in everything, not just in fashion. I'm teaching him in French style, what a women's style is, but he's teaching me in all of these different styles of music.I love this new world for me. It's refreshing and nourishing to keep learning about new things.

I love the free spirit in London.

The fashion industry certainly has its obscene sides. The cost of a coat can be obscene. So can the cost of a photo shoot if you're working with a really good photographer.

Each morning you dress to become a different woman. Fashion helps.

You discover yourself through the research of your work.

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