If I am in a beautiful place, but I don't like the people, I am miserable.
I think that if you want to pass emotion, you have to write a letter. Emotions do not pass in SMS or in e-mail.
For me, Lancome was more than just a brand. There was something very nostalgic about the name, about the whole story.
I never think people should do things for me. I think I should do things for others. That makes me more comfortable.
I don't go out to parties because I'd look terrible in pictures. My escape is television - it's like meditation to me.
My dream is to be a doctor. I'm almost working in a laboratory, because I'm trying new techniques, new directions and fabrics, new weaving.
How do you stand out as a fashion ad campaign? By using people off the street; it does generate buzz.
When I'm traveling the world, I don't ever look anymore at the geography - just enough to catch galleries and paintings.
To me, fashion is like a mirror. It's a reflection of the times. And if it doesn't reflect the times, it's not fashion. Because people aren't gonna be wearing it.

I make things of my own that aren't that glam, but I'm not known for that, which has always been a bit of a frustration for me.
Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.
I'm only waiting for Lindsay Lohan's fashion collection to come out. Ten years from now, there may be no real designers left.
I am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them - they are individual and stylish.
Don't just eat McDonald's, get something a bit better. Eat a salad. That's what fashion is. It's something that is a bit better.
If you wear clothes that don't suit you, you're a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better.
I have been asked what would I ban immediately if I could. Advertising.
I have considered voting Conservative because I am so against the Labour party.
All that self-expression has just created a generation of morons, hooked on an endless appetite for rubbish.
Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.
