I am like the lover of Roland Barthes "who's always running in his head". I'm always searching, and "eating" everything from my life, in order to put it in my dresses!

How can you live the high life if you do not wear the high heels?

Perfume follows you; it chases you and lingers behind you. It's a reference mark. Perfume makes silence talk.

You can create fashion everywhere in the world, but the place where you are crowned is Paris.

Perfume is like a parenthesis, a moment of freedom, peace, love and sensuality in between the disturbances of modern living.

It doesn't matter one damn bit whether fashion is art or not. You don't question whether an incredible chef is an artist or not-his cakes are delicious and that's all that matters.

I don't like women who are multiform, who wear many different shapes. Women who retain a unique shape are usually unique people.

The essence of seduction for me in a man, although it stems from his rough, almost rough-neck looks, still contains something of the woman: he must be seductive and intelligent.

I think in the darkest moments, we need a break.

Being one step ahead of a fashion trend is not so important to me. What matters is to always forge ahead.

I was rather free, and I always did what I wanted to do, sometimes without listening to the people who warned me not to do this or that.

It was your destiny - let us hope it will prove a glorious one.

There is nothing more sickening than talking about poverty over a fancy dinner.

My heart's broken, ' he thought. 'If I feel this way my heart must be broken.

There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften.

Every one of us is a perfect human being, deformed by the family, the society and the culture.

I do not feel certain until I have confronted my initial solution with other solutions - although in fact the first solution often proves to be the right one.

There's a feeling that strength is determined by the size of a union. That clearly is nonsense.

It's a cold world when no one will touch you.

I have a great deal of respect and admiration for people who put themselves on the line.

If one has to submit, it is wasteful not to do so with the best grace possible.
