Fashion is part of the daily air and it changes all the time, with all the events. You can even see the approaching of a revolution in clothes. You can see and feel everything in clothes.

A good photograph was never what I was looking for. I like to have a point. I had to have a point or I didn't have a picture. This is what I've always found so fascinating about paparazzi pictures. They catch something unintended, on the wing... they get that thing. It's the revelation of personality.

I think allure is something around you, like a perfume or like a scent. It's like a memory ... it pervades.

Image
I've always remained totally myself, which is to say, without an idea... of what to do.

All my life I’ve pursued the perfect red. I can never get painters to mix it for me. It’s exactly as if I’d said, ‘I want rococo with a spot of Gothic in it and a bit of Buddhist temple’—they have no idea what I’m talking about. About the best red is to copy the color of a child’s cap in any Renaissance portrait.

Fashion must be the most intoxicating release from the banality of the world.
Diana Vreeland

Balenciaga was incredibleI was madly infatuated with his clothes. His clothes were devastating. One fainted. One simply blew up and died.

Fragrances fill the senses with the mysterious.

You know the greatest thing is passion, without it what have you got? I mean if you love someone you can love them as much as you can love them but if it isn’t a passion, it isn’t burning, it isn’t on fire, you haven’t lived.

When I arrived in America, I had these very dark red nails which some people objected to, but then some people object to absolutely everything.

What do I think about the way most people dress? Most people are not something one thinks about.

Image
I'm for everybody. There are no set rules. But if one's not a joiner. To hell with all of them!
