I sleep seven hours. If I go to bed at two, I wake up at nine. If I go to bed at midnight, I wake up at seven. I don't wake up before - the house can fall apart, but I sleep for seven hours.
I have my permanent muses and my muses of the moment.
I've done many ads because that's my new career. It's an inspiring extension for my mind.
I'm like a rock singer with one-night stands on the road.
I'm born with a pencil in my hand. I did lots of sketching.
I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.
No, and I never, ever eat in between the meals. I control it well enough and with no pills, and I sleep seven hours a night. I go to bed. I fall asleep, and I wake up seven hours later, and this is the most important.
Clothes if they are not well cut, you can kill nobody. A building poorly built can kill people. It's a much more difficult work. I would not compare myself with that.
There was a moment when designers draped in ermine would be reading Proust, or pretending to.
I like the language in Proust but not the context.
Bling is over. Red carpet covered with rhinestones is out. I call it 'the new modesty.'
You have to like the present; if not your life becomes secondhand, if you think it was better before. Or that it will be better in the future.
I'm all self-taught. I never had a teacher. Even for English, and French, and German, I hardly went to school.
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.
Mostly I stay at home from the morning until 5 P.M., and I only go out for fittings and shoots because I work at home. I like to be alone.
I believe in sketching because there is something very sensitive in sketching, you know, in sketches that you don't have out of a computer that looks the same like everybody even if, later on, the dresses are OK, but I like to sketch, and I like to see trails made after my sketches that look the same. It is you know, what I like.
I could speak three languages when I was six, and when I went to school, I only liked to read and sketch. At five, I could write and everything.
I never look at my watch when I'm sketching!
I spent my childhood in the country and started reading even before going to school. There was nothing else in my life but sketching and reading.
I don't want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy.
