Oracle was I had started it I guess two and a half years ago, maybe even longer than that, closer to three.
A newspaper that you're not reading can be used for anything; and the same people didn't think it was immoral to wrap their garbage in newspaper.
If I see a fashion show with literal influences, it doesn't make me think any more. It doesn't make me dream.
I'm usually very attracted to things that I can't define. If something's too clear, it's very often not inspiring to me anymore.
L.A. interests me, the whole band scene and relaxed carefree feel, but it does not mean you have to dress like a hippy.
Fashion is such an octopus. You're connected to so many people: suppliers, pattern makers, production teams, marketing teams, vendors.
The fashion world doesn't know the word 'stop,' so you have to make sure there are sublime moments every day.
I really think that creating clothes and fashion has to be a statement about how we live and where we live and what's happening in the world.
Whenever I pick up a jacket and it's heavy, I think, 'Oh, I don't want to wear that.'
Hedi Slimane told me I was boyish in his eyes. For him femininity and masculinity are the same thing, the difference is not so interesting, he said.

You want to be understood by the sophisticated few but you also have to be more loud somehow, otherwise your message doesn't go through.
What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today when human contacts go so fast. Fashion is instant language.
Talent is only cream in your coffee. There is no reason to rest on your talent. If you don't present it, then it gets nowhere.
Fans don't lie. They just tell you what they really think, and they see details that even people in fashion don't.
My uniform is usually just comfortable clothing. Being a stylist, you spend most of the day at photo shoots covered in safety pins.
I interned at 'Hamptons' magazine. I was 12. I walked around with a pad and was like, 'What do you guys want for lunch?' to all the people who worked there.
I could have just received royalty checks every month by lending my name to a collection, but I didn't want to do that. My name is a reflection of me.
I spend my time backstage at the Lanvin shows, and when I come out at the end, all I see are people's eyes.
