The best ideas I've had in my life are those I saw in my sleep, in the early morning.

Don't use expensive clothes as a screen for your personal doubts. Be proud of yourself

Things have to be beautifully made, even if they are full of fun, fantasy and futility

What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second.

If you're not ready to do a non-stop dialogue with fashion, you should do another job.

I always loved advertising. If I hadn't been in fashion, I'd have been in advertising.

My sisters were sent away because my mother thought they were boring. I was not boring.

I hate the word 'cheap'. People are cheap. Clothing is either expensive or inexpensive.

I can tell you all kinds of moral tales, but fashion and reality are vaguely different.

I am like a TV antenna. I catch everything that is in the air, and then I do it my way.

Bling is over. Red carpet covered with rhinestones is out. I call it 'the new modesty.'

I get along with everyone except for men my age, who are bourgeois or retired or boring.

Forgiveness isn’t something I’m preoccupied with — turning the other cheek isn’t my trip.

Forgiveness is too easy. I can forget by indifference, but not forgive. I prefer revenge.

If I were a woman, I would love to have lots of kids. But for men, I don’t believe in it.

I've done many ads because that's my new career. It's an inspiring extension for my mind.

Books are a hard-bound drug with no danger of an overdose. I am the happy victim of books.

I don't understand the change of hair...Frankly, the fringe was a bad idea. It's not good.

Elegance is a physical quality. If a woman doesn't have it naked, she'll never it clothed.

I would make myself head of the style police and we would fight fiercely against sloppiness.

Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.

I'm open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.

There was a moment when designers draped in ermine would be reading Proust, or pretending to.

My life is based on change. What I say is OK for the next ten minutes, then I change my mind.

I am a fashion person, and fashion is not only about clothes - it's about all kinds of change

A sense of humour and a little lack of respect: That's what you need to make a legend survive.

I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it's a very healthy discipline.

I can hardly eat meat because it has to look like something what it was not when it was alive.

Fantasy is often better than reality. It's much more inspiring not to go to places than to go.

It’s up to you to make everyday as perfect as possible. It’s a question of will and discipline.

I don't even want to have things associated with my name on the internet - it's very dangerous.

In fact, I don't even know myself. That is the big secret of the story. That there is no story.

I am never satisfied with myself and that is what keeps me going - I have no post-satisfaction.

People who say that yesterday was better than today are ultimately devaluing their own existence.

I have no idea of the future -- never, ever. That's what I like about fashion. It's paradise now.

If I were pretentious I would say that I'm not an average person. But really, I know how that is.

No, I'm not a French designer either. I'm from nowhere. I'm a European, old European is all I am.

I have one instinct stronger than any other thing in life, and that is the instinct for survival.

I try not to be sentimental and obsessive about possessions. I love collecting, but I hate owning.

For me, Chanel is like music. There are certain notes and you have to make another tune with them.

I love dogs, but dogs, you have to be in the country with dogs. I cannot walk a dog on the street.

I am a black diamond, unfaceted. Black diamonds are rare, hard to cut, and therefore uncommercial.

I hate leisure, except reading. I'm really a person made to work, if sketching is considered work.

You come first, the clothes later. Reinvent new combinations of what you already own. Be creative.

I wanted to become a cartoon artist, a portrait artist, and an illustrator. This was my first idea.

EXTREME LUXURY ISN'T THE MOST BLING-BLING, IT'S EXTREME REFINEMENT, WHICH IS COUTURE AT ITS FINEST.

I want everyone to wear what they want and mix it in their own way. That, to me, is what is modern.

I eat fish, three times a week meat, and if not yogurt, something like this and it rarely continues.

I don't know Heidi Klum. She was never known in France. Claudia Schiffer also doesn't know who she is.

The story with anorexic girls - nobody works with anorexic girls. That has nothing to do with fashion.
