I adore artifice. I always have.

Without emotion there is no beauty

I have a terrible time remembering exactly when my birthday is. Age is totally boring.

I was always fascinated by the absurdities and luxuries and the snobbism of the world that fashion magazines showed. Of course, it’s not for everyone...But I lived in that world, not only during my years in the magazines business but for years before, because I was always of that world-- at least in my imagination.

Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female'

Elegance is innate. It has nothing to do with being well dressed. Elegance is refusal.

Exaggeration is my only reality.
