life people
When you give a lot of confidence in people and you don't get it back, you are a bit disappointed, but it's life.
people
I don't like intellectuals, or, at least, people who call themselves that way, because I am under the impression that there is always something condescending in their demeanour, and I don't like condescending people.
ask bring great magazine people
People ask me 'Why you want to do another magazine - 10 years at 'Vogue,' a great magazine? Why do you want to make a new one? It's so difficult and there's already so many.' I wanted to do something new, bring a new vision.
girls people
I've always used black girls on the runway, because I think they're beautiful. I don't need people to tell me, 'You need to use black girls.' I did for 20 years; it's not a new thing for me.
ask great people photo picture streets
I am just doing photo shoots. It's not something that extraordinary. I'm not a great artist, I'm not writing books, I'm not a painter, and people in the streets ask me for a picture or a note, and I say, 'Why?'
people
Fashion isn't something you can buy; you need to have the sense of it, and most people don't.

I'm inside my bubble, you could say, and thankfully so, because I don't think daily life is always great. It protects me.
love mostly paris people quite retired
Paris is mostly retired people - I love it, and it's a beautiful city, but it's quite slow.
knows people
If I like a make-up artist's look, even if nobody knows about her, I use her. New people give me energy.
mix pair people trendy wear
People think I only wear new clothes, that I'm very trendy, but I like classic things on me, to mix with a trendy pair of shoes.
people important
You're not on your own. You're doing things with other people. This is very important for me.
people looks pops
People always say, ‘You look like Iggy Pop,’
