Our eyes reflect light. Better that the lips are more like a rose petal.
We always see the point of an iceberg. So I've always accepted the idea that people - they don't necessarily know everything I am.
When I was very young, I wanted to be a girl. I was jealous that girls got to be princesses and wear skirts. It tormented me. When I was 6, I even heard that you could change your sex, and I was very intrigued until the moment I realized that if I changed into a girl, I would be an ugly girl, and this is the last thing I wanted to be.
I am interested in the idea of 'taste.' And by 'taste,' I mean opinion, inspiration and the craft of creating a personality through fabric and design.
Historical costumes from the 18th and 19th centuries look so complicated, but when you see the patterns, it's very systematic. I've always been impressed by how the patterns economize the fabric.
I feel super lucky to be living in New York. I love the city, I love the energy. I always loved it. I had pictures of New York in my bedroom when I was young.
The aim of being a good designer is to have an influence. If you design furniture or lifestyle, you should influence the way people evolve globally. It's good to have an influence.
People who don't know me sometimes call me 'Mademoiselle.'
I always like to preserve my freedom. I've never really been attached to any place; that's probably why I kept moving. I like to evolve.
What is funny is when you do a futuristic movie, you immediately get to be fashionable because you're creating something that doesn't exist.
I really hated school. I had the feeling I was losing a lot of time.
I like to be lazy. I do like to be busy and really active, but when that's done, you can be sure I will be a lazy boy. I like to take time and relax and enjoy life.
Personally, I am not so affected by my environment. What I build in the creative process is not necessarily connected to what I am physically in contact with. I am always observing everything, but it will not necessarily have a direct impact on what I do.
Today there are more things you can wear for the same occasions. I still like this idea of the perfect suit, and I always love tailoring, but today you can have more things for this type of situation, clothes that have class and that are mixable, and that are super well cut.
The only shoes that look futuristic are Crocs, but they would be terrible to use in a futuristic movie.
I'm kind of obsessed with cool girls.
In fashion, we don't often know the prices. We don't have time to go into the stores.
I didn't understand the advantages of staying active until I was about 27.
I've admired historical clothes like Victorian gowns since I was a child, and it's what motivated me to go into fashion.
I think the relationship is very tenuous between fashion and art. Many designers have built relationships with artists, which is not something I personally did. But it's true, sometimes you see artists working for a designer or a brand on some specific project or taking care of their environment and making an amazing store.
