I would make myself head of the style police and we would fight fiercely against sloppiness.

The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.

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

I try not to be sentimental and obsessive about possessions. I love collecting, but I hate owning.

Be politically correct, but please don't bother other people with conversation about being politically correct, because that's the end of everything. You want to create boredom? Be politically correct in your conversation.

Guilty feelings about clothes are totally unnecessary. A lot of people earn their living by making clothes, so you should never feel bad.

-
Buy what you don’t have yet, or what you really want, which can be mixed with what you already own. Buy only because something excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping.

Fashion is the healthiest motivation for losing weight.

If you attach no importance to weight problems, if not being able to wear new, trendy small-sized clothes does not cause you any regret, this book is not for you.

I am not a fashion victim. Fashion is my victim.

I think everyone should go to bed like they have a date at the door.

We live in the world of images, but we also live in the world of the Internet, of zapping and where people move. You can make little videos on your phone. I love very composed images, but the idea of moving pictures with a story, with a plot is quite interesting, too.

I'm always busy. You know, the more I do, the more ideas I have—that's the funny thing. The brain is a muscle, and I'm a kind of body builder.

When I was a child, my mother always told me that you could wake up in the middle of the night and be deathly sick, so you always have to be impeccable. I laugh about it now, but I think everyone should go to bed like they have a date at the door.

In fact, I don't even know myself. That is the big secret of the story. That there is no story.

I don’t do meetings. At Chanel, there are no meetings. At Chanel, we do what we want, whenever we want and it works. And Fendi is the same.

My sisters were sent away because my mother thought they were boring. I was not boring.

I do my job like I breathe — so if I can’t breathe I’m in trouble.

Lana del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She's not alone with implants.

The clothes don’t have to suit you; you have to suit the clothes.

Adele is another problem. I never said that she was fat. I said that she was a little roundish; a little roundish is not fat. But for such a beautiful girl... after that she lost eight kilos [17.6 pounds] so I think the message was not that bad.

I have no idea of the future -- never, ever. That's what I like about fashion. It's paradise now.
