Our eyes reflect light. Better that the lips are more like a rose petal.
The aim of being a good designer is to have an influence. If you design furniture or lifestyle, you should influence the way people evolve globally. It's good to have an influence.
I don't think couture will die. But it should have no pretension that it will conquer the world. It's not something that will disappear because all you need is a thread and a needle to start making something couture.
When I was young, watching historical movies made me feel absolutely sublime. But the first few times I visited costume museums, I was really disappointed because it was not at the level I saw in movies. It was not the level of the image I'd imagined.
We always see the point of an iceberg. So I've always accepted the idea that people - they don't necessarily know everything I am.
I am interested in the idea of 'taste.' And by 'taste,' I mean opinion, inspiration and the craft of creating a personality through fabric and design.
I could live naked... I love it.
I am more used to seeing my work like a big collection, and only part of it is being shown.
What is sure is that the satellite view of our world and its evolution is now a common reality.
My sense of designing is a mix of intuition and intellectual control.
I see the city as an organism, shaped through time by the little humans having habits and doing millions of stuff in and out of it.
I would love, just once, to do costumes for a movie. I almost did some theater, but it is very different from what I am used to doing as a fashion designer.
For a long time I have been thinking about affordable fashion - you can be disappointed when not so many people can wear your stuff.
In fashion, we don't often know the prices. We don't have time to go into the stores.
I haven't made many wedding dresses. It's a dress very, very important for the girl; it's important to know the person, I believe, but at the same time it should be a shock to the person - the person should be shocked to be suddenly revealed. That's the work of a designer sometimes, to propose an ID of look.
I don't like to go beyond modernity because you think girls might be like that in five years, but in five years what I see now is going to be old; we are always going to go somewhere else. You have to bring a few novelties within what will remain.
I think the relationship is very tenuous between fashion and art. Many designers have built relationships with artists, which is not something I personally did. But it's true, sometimes you see artists working for a designer or a brand on some specific project or taking care of their environment and making an amazing store.
With couture, you feel obligated to design something modern each season, but with Theyskens Theory, I don't question anything. I'm thinking of what I'd like to wear.
When Princess Diana got married, I was a very little kid, I think. I remember her dress, and I found the dress amazing when I was a kid.
The aim of being a good designer is to have an influence. If you design furniture or lifestyle, you should influence the way people evolve globally. It's good to have an influence. I feel like people on the street today probably dress better than they did in the '50s.
Art is the way people see things, and I think it's great when individuals can find in fashion something they truly believe is artistic
When the economy changes, it's not like you want to start eating bad-tasting chocolate.
Knitted fur is so modern and light, it makes this retro shape cool again.
People who don't know me sometimes call me 'Mademoiselle.'
I rarely stay at home when I'm in New York. I'm always doing things. It brings you so much energy.
