How can you live the high life if you do not wear the high heels?

For me, luxury isn't just the real thing. It's also fake. Swarovski crystals or real diamonds? It's a game. You have to be luxurious nude.

I feel like a slave, and in a way like an artist, because I need to get inspiration everyday, from everything and everyone.

I married a man who was in fashion. I began to work when my daughter Nathalie was about eight or 10 years old. Then one day I began to make a sweater, and eventually the sweater was on the front page of Elle magazine. And the day after I was the queen of knit in America.

People said making clothes inside out was not proper. I disagreed because clothes that are inside out are as beautiful as a cathedral.

At hotels, you are an actress. Absolutely. You can do what you want. Go where you want. I love my home too. But I love to arrive in a hotel. They have books, chocolate, food. I put things in the little refrigerator.
