“Chic is a kind of mayonnaise, either it tastes, or it doesn’t.”

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

I like the idea of craziness with discipline.

I was never a feminist because I was never ugly enough for that.

I’m not a social person. Not that I’m not at ease. I’m pretty good, but it bores me. Not the people, but the whole thing. What for? It’s not very productive. I only want to do what I have to do: fashion, photography, books. And that’s all.

The French say you get hungry when you’re eating, and I get inspired when I’m working. It’s my engine.

Fashion designers are dictators of taste.

Never use the word “cheap”. Today everybody can look chic in inexpensive clothes (the rich buy them too). There is good clothing design on every level today. You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans – it’s up to you.

I have no personality, or I have three, depending on how you look at it.

I’m not an employee who goes to the office every morning at the same time. Then, vacations are needed.

I like girls to be wild but at the same time beautifully brought up and very funny.

I don’t care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.

I’m a working-class person, working with class.

I’m very much down to earth, just not this earth.

The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.

Nothing scares me more than people with some doll collection.

The purpose of life is life.

I like people who are slightly unhygienic. A little grubbiness isn’t so bad. BO chic it should be called.

I prefer the retro chic of spending Christmas just like Joseph and Mary did – Traveling arduously back to the place of your birth to be counted, with no guarantee of a bed when you get there.

You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur
