Fashion is instinctive and sensual. Learn to love what you wear. It should feel like eating chocolates...wi thout the calories

I don't think you can be a designer if you don't care.

I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.

I wanted to see people from different age groups, body shapes and personalities wearing Lanvin That is what Lanvin is all about and represents - we dont only do clothes for 20-year-old girls. I love to see mature women wearing Lanvin as well. I love wrinkles, I love grey hair.

I feel more and more that the most beautiful people are the ones who are comfortable with themselves.
