As a child I wanted to be a grown-up. I wanted to know everything - not that I like to talk about it. I hate intellectual conversation with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion.

I like today and perhaps a little future still, but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So, as far as I'm concerned, I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know, I don't care because I knew how it was.

There's no Chanel collection without black. (It) will never exist. Who can live without some black clothes.

Designers must be both conscious and unconscious at the same time. Clear thinking at the wrong moment can stifle talent.

The best thing to do is dive with your imagination ~ you can never drown yourself.

Fashion designers are dictators of taste.

Nothing makes you look older than attempting to look young. You can fool anyone, apart from the young. The worst are the lip operations. There are people who have it done and I don't recognise them afterwards. They look like they flew through the windscreen during a car accident and were patched up badly afterwards.
