- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Becoming a grandmother brought me back to the things I forgot to love. Nature. Playing. Seeing animals. A new way of looking. A rejuvenation. A cycle of life - things come back to you. The details.
- Good

- Nov 07, 2020
I am not a celebrity. I work with celebrities, and it is very difficult. When a celebrity wears a dress, it's good for business, so brands fight for the red carpet. Me? I don't like it, because fashion becomes a job about dressing celebrities. And it's a bit boring.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You know it's very important, the role of a mother... I don't know, but it's feminism to me to love your kids.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love if someone invites me to a restaurant, so I don't know if that's a feminist.
- Free Spirit
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love the free spirit in London.
- Fashion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fashion is a completely international business.
- Hope
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Pregnancy is something that I always love. It's about hope and the future and a new baby.
- Picture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Maybe people have no idea how much work is behind a picture. It can seem very effortless, but there is a lot of work. It's exactly like doing ballet. It's hours and hours, but when you go onstage, it's just the pleasure of dancing.
- Jacket
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The first Chanel jacket that I saw - that I knew was Chanel - was on TV. It was on Mrs. Kennedy - the pink one.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Designers have told me that their collections are so me, but I don't always recognise it because if you ask me what my style is, I'm really not that sure.
- Eyebrows
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Bleaching eyebrows makes me crazy.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I mix talents and friendship, which is not very professional, but it's my way of thinking. So I love Azzedine Alaia, because I've known him for 30 years, and he's making my dresses most of the time.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love black lingerie and white shoes, and I love knives.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am afraid of blood, but for some reason often I put blood in my photos... I don't know why.
- Daily Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- High Heels
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.

- Nov 07, 2020
The true test of a man's style is the haircut. There are some men who look good no matter how their hair is styled, whether it's trendy or not. A man can change his haircut many times, but to pull off any haircut, you have to be very chic. Like Brad Pitt.
- Simple
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Look at someone like Steve Jobs. His look wasn't very special - black turtleneck and jeans - but he had style. He looked the same, and you knew it was him when you saw him. Plus, he was a very smart person, which is also very attractive. His style was simple, not distracting, and very strong.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I actually love the 'rappers look,' with the saggy pants and oversized clothes. It's very deliberate.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When in doubt, wear a suit. Look at male politicians: you see them in a suit, and they look fine. But if you see a picture of them on the weekend or on vacation, there's a good chance they look terrible and unstylish.
- Boss
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm always independent. No boss.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People ask me 'Why you want to do another magazine - 10 years at 'Vogue,' a great magazine? Why do you want to make a new one? It's so difficult and there's already so many.' I wanted to do something new, bring a new vision.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I made a big family when I was working at 'Vogue' for ten years, and I'm still friends with a lot of them.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a very spontaneous person, for the bad and the good.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't like Botox. It makes a very strange forehead.
- French
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am Parisian. I don't love the French.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think because you have money you have taste... Education and money - this is quite rare. No?
- Girl
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mom read French 'Elle' when I was a little girl, and so, when I was 15 or 16, I said, 'I want to work in fashion.'
- Less
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The less you have, the more you enjoy.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not a business girl. I will never be a business girl, but I will say, for Anna Wintour, that I respect successful people; I like things that are success.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Even though jeans suit me, I never wear jeans.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are a lot of good men's magazines. In England, you have 'Arena Homme+' and 'Another Man;' and in France we have 'L'Officiel Hommes.' But all are looking similar.
- Boring
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think it's difficult to do fashion for men, because either you become very over-homosexual fashion or very boring fashion. You don't want a boy who looks 15 in a little pair of shorts with some strange art... But to see just a jacket and tie is boring.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Russians are very much more up and down than the French.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Like most Russians, I am very superstitious, and if I don't get married, I don't get divorced.
- Far Away
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love curvy women. Maybe because I'm not. I would love to be a Marilyn Monroe, but I'm very far away from that... So I love very curvy girls.
- Prove
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never think I have to prove something.
- Nov 07, 2020
I want to be the Joan of Arc of fashion. I want to be the link between the runway and the real woman.
- Hands
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's true I always like to mix femininity and something a bit masculine. It's the reason I love skirts with high heels and tights, and no handbag because I love having my hands in my pockets.
- Body
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love ballet because you can see how beautiful the body is.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that ballet is very good for the body. It's very similar to yoga, because you have to hold a position.
- Couture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have a couture body.
- Everywhere
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think beauty can be everywhere.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can be covered and be very sexy. It's not what you show; it's what you have in mind, the way you cross your legs, the way you talk to people.
- Either
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not bad-looking, but I'm not a beauty, either.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't have a big appetite. I don't eat a lot, to be honest - never. I'm a bit like a little bird, picking all day long, but I'm not getting pasta or getting all those things, you know?
- Makeup
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Fashion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was young, no one got married. Now, all the young people, they want to get married, they want security. Now that my children's friends are getting married, I go to more weddings than I ever did when I was young.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am from the age of magazines, so the Internet is terrifying to me. But I am learning.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I get on well with models, and I like to treat them well.
- Nov 07, 2020
Ballet is good, because it makes you stand up tall.
- Morning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is very wrong to sleep in your make-up, but when you wake up the next morning, I think it looks very good.
- Hard
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fashion is supposed to be light and not try too hard.
- Earn
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I could live very quietly, do advertising to earn money.
- God
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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!'
- Freedom
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm still like a butterfly going from one job to another job. But it's quite lovely - I hope to keep this freedom, to have fun.
- Heart
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you have the baby, there is no BlackBerry, no computer; you just have the baby on your stomach, and your heart is beating the same time as the baby's. It's very nice.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People think I only wear new clothes, that I'm very trendy, but I like classic things on me, to mix with a trendy pair of shoes.
- Happy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I would never share my daughter's wardrobe. Every five years you have to go through your wardrobe and say, 'This is possible, this is not possible.' But you have to be happy with yourself.
- Clothes
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fashion is not about clothes, it is about a look.
- Hair
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you get older, you have to stay a bit rock n' roll so that young people will still be interested in you. The way you move, the way you talk, maybe the way you have your hair in your face a little bit - this keeps you interesting.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Certain Way
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can be beautiful with big breasts; you can be beautiful in your 40s. If you don't have perfect ankles, still you can move your legs in a certain way and look very sexy.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you have a magazine like 'Vogue,' you know a lot of kids are going to follow your pictures.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I see girls who are so skinny on the catwalks, and I know so many of them destroy their lives and their family's lives.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you give a lot of confidence in people and you don't get it back, you are a bit disappointed, but it's life.
- Forget
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fashion is very tough, and we shouldn't forget that before designers were money-makers, they were artists.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am not mean at all; I am not tough at all.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was working with Tom Ford, he would just look at me and ask, 'Will you wear it?' I'd say, 'Ah, too long, too short, lower waist, deeper V, unbutton' - that sort of thing. I don't create clothes, but I definitely know how to make them come alive.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's interesting to know how much you are worth.
- Free
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Working for a magazine, you have a boss; you are not free.
- Fashion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
London Fashion Week isn't the most organised, but I don't mind that. It's such an exciting place - it's small and cool.
- Big Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fashion is one big family.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My private life is a lot more ladylike and less sultry than the fashion photos I imagine.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Monsieur Saint Laurent was pathologically shy, and he made the Saint Laurent woman in his own image. Like her, I am shy. And to protect myself, I adopted something of an androgynous look, just as his women did.
- Freedom
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In a way, I envy the freedom artists have. Artists can push themselves beyond their limits, in pursuit of their ideas and their vision, even if they are inhabited by demons that can also play tricks on them.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People always say, 'You look like Iggy Pop.'
- Fashion Industry
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The fashion industry certainly has its obscene sides. The cost of a coat can be obscene. So can the cost of a photo shoot if you're working with a really good photographer.
- First Lady
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Anna Wintour is the most powerful woman in the global fashion industry, the first lady of fashion. She's a politician; I'm a stylist. They are two very different jobs.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like to provoke. I'm very French.
- Nov 07, 2020
If Caravaggio was a photographer today, I would love to work with him. I love his dark vision - I have a dark vision.
- Institution
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Vogue' is a very beautiful magazine, an institution, and I learned so much working there.
- New
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can't put yourself into competition with a magazine like 'Vogue.' You have to create something new, something different.
- Girl
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not the girl next door.
