Quote

I always think, if I were an editor, and I was invited to a show, and I would have to wait for 45 minutes in the dark or in the cold or in the heat, maybe I would like to have a fresh drink or a piece of chocolate.

When a woman's clothes are in harmony with her emotions, she shines from within.

A fragrance is a veritable story, told and explained in scent, in notes, in impressions. It's a score based on the emotions of each instant, a captivating music of the senses.

I'm not going into the cool club. It's not my address.

Image
I am very sensitive to the smells and sensations that are part of perfumes because they remind me of things: moments from the past, people, events.

If I wasn't a designer I would love to be a doctor. That is my fantasy, my dream. A doctor will give you a tablet if you have a headache and I will give you a dress and we both make you feel good.

I think that we are in a very strange time, when everybody is thinking about what is going to happen, and everybody is kind of cleaning house a little bit. In the fashion world, we are doing something similar. We are taking the fake out and being a little bit more real and simple.

Style is the only thing you can't buy. It's not in a shopping bag, a label, or a price tag. It's something reflected from our soul to the outside world. An emotion.

I love to travel inside my head, take journeys toward the unknown, meet new people, dream.

I certainly can't complain. I work six days a week, if not seven, and eighteen hours out of twenty-four - fortunately, with a great deal of pleasure. Why? Because I only do something if I want to do it I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, moving, inventing.

I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.

I spend my time backstage at the Lanvin shows, and when I come out at the end, all I see are people's eyes.

Image
I barely finish one pre-collection before I must start on another. Sales start, but I am already elsewhere creatively. The men's show is being prepared, but we also need to think about accessories, perfumes and other items. In sum, I never stop.

What we want is clothing we think we can fly in. That's why I opened the show with flying dresses.

Fashion is not about buying a second skin. Fashion is about having a fantasy.

Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.

Elegant is not what you wear, and it's not about how you wear it, but it's more about who you are.

Sometimes you don't really need armor to feel protected. Sometimes maybe you need just a chiffon dress to hug you.

I feel more and more that the most beautiful people are the ones who are comfortable with themselves.
