I want to be the Joan of Arc of fashion. I want to be the link between the runway and the real woman.
-
I love if someone invites me to a restaurant, so I don't know if that's a feminist.
-
I never like to wear too much makeup, and sometimes the best makeup is when it's not too perfect. I like to sometimes apply my makeup with my fingers.
-
My father was very chic. My mum was always encouraging me. Some parents would say, 'Why don't you be a lawyer, a doctor, or something more important?' They never said that.
-
I want more women to run countries. There'd be more peace on Earth.
-
One time, a burglar came to my apartment, so we called the police. My son was here, so I think they left before they tried to steal something. So the police come to my apartment, and they say, 'Oh my God, did they steal everything?' I was like, 'No, it was like that!'
-
In Japan, you can learn how to make a bunch of flowers. This is an art. Tea ceremony, it's an art.
-
I think it's good to have surprises in fashion because we always see the same things.
-
I am afraid of blood, but for some reason often I put blood in my photos... I don't know why.
-
I started wearing high heels when I first worked with Mario Testino. He is tall; I had to be at his height. And I have never stopped since then.
-
Ballet is good, because it makes you stand up tall.
-
The first Chanel jacket that I saw - that I knew was Chanel - was on TV. It was on Mrs. Kennedy - the pink one.
-
It's very difficult for designers today. How can someone produce so many shows? Now the minimum is four a year.
-
I have a lot to say about fashion - not just about fashion, but beauty, art.
-
You lose attitude when you feel too comfortable, so I prefer to wear clothes that have a certain edge to them.
-
When a designer creates, he looks at the world around him.
-
I was the muse of Tom Ford and Gucci for years, but that was a long time ago.
-
To me, makeup is fashion and vice versa. What I dress and what I wear always needs to work with my makeup, which is usually the same anyway.
-
As you get older, you see life is very short, so you have to appreciate more and more and to enjoy it.
-
The Russians are extreme people: they are generous but crazy at the same time. They always have something to say, and I really like that.
-
Sometimes, when you go to airport and look at the people, you see the worst looks - but the worst looks can give you more ideas than the best looks.
-
People might think I'm very hard, what with my black make-up, my hair over my eyes, etc. My innocence didn't always help me, but it did preserve something in me that maybe others don't have anymore. I'm inside my bubble, you could say, and thankfully so, because I don't think daily life is always great. It protects me.
-
I think it is good when something can stay interesting for a long time. It's not just a trend for one month.
-
In my 10 years, I never put a girl that was too skinny in French 'Vogue.'
