The smell of a freshly printed book is the best smell in the world.
With expensive fashion, the inside should be as perfect as the outside.
You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur
Never use the word “cheap”. Today everybody can look chic in inexpensive clothes (the rich buy them too). There is good clothing design on every level today. You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans — it’s up to you.
I'm a very down-to-earth person, but it is my job to make that earth more pleasant.
Bears are very nice, as long as you are nice to them.
I'm not a marketing person. I don't ask myself questions. I go by instinct.
I like the present and tomorrow
What I've done, Coco Chanel would never have done. She would have hated it.
Seduction is, first and foremost, an art form. And seduction should not always be treated as a wild celebration. In fact, it's more of an evocation of what you do. It's more an evocation of seduction.
If you want respect for your past, it means that you have a problem with your present and even more with your future.
My hair is not really white; it's kind of grayish, and I don't like the color. So I make it totally white with Klorane dry shampoo. That is the best thing to do because my hair is always clean.
Clear thinking at the wrong moment can stifle creativity.
It would have been difficult to have an ugly daughter.
When I was 14, I wanted to smoke because my mother smoked like mad. I wanted to smoke to look grown-up. But my mother said: 'You shouldn't smoke. Your hands are not that beautiful and that shows when you smoke.
Truth is only a question of point of view.
I don't care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.
Nothing scares me more than people with some doll collection.
I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it's a very healthy discipline.
I've survived quite a few generations. That's because I never lost my enthusiasm. I wake up every morning like on Christmas Day, waiting for the gifts.
I do my job like I breathe — so if I can’t breathe I’m in trouble.
We create a product nobody needs but people want. You spend more for what you really want; some boring things you need: an ugly old car can wait, but if you have a new fashion item it cannot wait.
People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.
I never fall in love.
Beauty—or the desire to be beautiful—is in itself a dangerous motivation. Someone (I forgot who) once said, ‘Does the person who loves someone for their beauty really love them?’ So don’t focus on beauty ... a respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul.
