I think you are born chic. You cannot be chic. It is something you cannot learn.
Fashion is not about clothes, it is about a look.
In fashion, it’s always better to be an interesting person than a beautiful one. Character is much more fascinating than pure good looks.
Always wear high heels. Yes, they give you power. you move differently, sit differently and even speak differently.
Once you start being a muse, you cannot stop being a muse.
Fashion's about extravagance, and everyone needs a bit of that.
What a women reads makes her more attractive and more elegant than what she wears.
I think that something needs to be weird in order to have real beauty.
You can't learn how to be elegant; you can only learn how to avoid mistakes. The rest is instinct. Elegance is about the way you cross your legs, not the label or the newest clothes from the latest collection.
I need a lot of black on my eyes and a little shot of vodka to be brave, because you're beautiful when you relax.
Each morning you dress to become a different woman. Fashion helps.
Let the others have beauty. I've got the charisma.
I am not a good professional of fashion. I am not an expert about how clothes are constructed or the history of fashion. I never start with fashion. I always think of the girl and her personality - because all that matters to me when you look at a page is, "Do you want to be that girl?"
Each woman needs to know herself and think that the clothes are here to make her more beautiful, because the person is more important than the clothes.
I hate people who over intellectualize. It bores me deeply.
When everything is good, maybe I think it’s the time to do something else.
Fashion is very tough, and we shouldn't forget that before designers were money-makers, they were artists.
I think that each women, whatever age, needs to recognise something good in her body. Someone has beautiful legs, someone has beautiful hair, someone else has beautiful décolletage or a beautiful waist or beautiful hands. Everyone has something great.
There are people who give you the confidence that you're lacking and once you have confidence, you're free and finally you can let out what's inside of you.
I think that when you're taking pictures with my principles, you can try anything. Dare to do a lot of things - dare with sexuality, dare to break taboos as long as it remains photogenic. As long as I find an elegance and beauty in it, I am not afraid to tackle anything.
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.
I believe in the Yves Saint Laurent woman who either has her hands in the pockets of her pantsuit or is holding her lover's hand. She doesn't need a bag.
It’s funny, everything is so much easier when you do it yourself.
Monsier 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.
I love black lingerie and white shoes, and I love knives.
