Makeup is the finishing touch, the final accessory.

But in another, I think a woman's going to go into a shop to find a coat or a jacket and I just don't think she's not going to go into a shop because of a bad review she probably didn't even read.

I don't think there is just one Louis Vuitton woman. That is why, for the fall/winter 2011 show, I loved the idea of lots of different characters - a wife, a mistress, a girlfriend - stepping out of the row of hotel elevators.

That was a time when I did love music, I couldn't get enough of what was going on. Maybe it was Nirvana that brought me back. I guess it was a comfort because something that sounded so right - and non-commercial - had become so influential, so immediately.

It's sometimes said that I'm rebellious and I do things to push people's buttons, but I just like the challenge.

To be useful to others and to be useful to myself is definitely a better place to be.

To me, clothing is a form of self-expression - there are hints about who you are in what you wear.
