I think a good designer can exist everywhere and anywhere and all the time. It's all about being good, and I think that our job basically is to make women and men look good.

A singer can quit once he or she has made ten great songs; a director can finish once he or she has made five amazing films; a writer just needs to write three great books.

'Commercial' is not the word ...

'Commercial' is not the word that has to be said only by CEOs. It has to be something that is maybe the essence of design, because design has some sort of art in it and creation, but it's also some object that you have to use. There is also this pragmatic end to it.

Nothing is ever enough for me. I'm always thinking what is wrong, what needs to be fixed.

I am always trying to put myself inside: Every dress I do, I think, 'If I were a woman, would I wear it?'

I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.

I think that if you want to pass emotion, you have to write a letter. Emotions do not pass in SMS or in e-mail.

I certainly can't complain. I work six days a week, if not seven, and eighteen hours out of twenty-four - fortunately, with a great deal of pleasure. Why? Because I only do something if I want to do it; I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, moving, inventing.

I hate bridges. I'm always very insecure on bridges.

The worst thing that can happen is if you're stuck within a bubble and you think that is what life is all about. It's great to see other people and hear from people of different ages and opinions.

In fashion, the time is so short, and even with pre-collection, there are not only dresses, shoes, bags, and furs but now raincoats and T-shirts. It's just an endless amount of work that we have to produce in no time.

I don't think that you can write music if you don't know how to play an instrument. You have to know the basics, then you can go forward.

I always say that women are very strong and men are powerful. But beauty gives you both strength and power. I never think of it. It's just one of those natural things. It's the only thing I know how to do.

We are being accused that some models are anorexic. But we as fashion designers cannot be blamed, because you know, when I talk to women around the world, rich and poor and young and old and intellectual and not, what they want to be is skinny. You ask them, 'What is your dream?' It's to be skinny. That's all they want.

Many, many times I find that whatever is looking good on the screen doesn't always look or feel good on the body. So who do we design for - do we design for the screen, or do we design for women?

All I want is beautiful. I mean, I like grey hair, I love wrinkles. But this is me.

I spend my time backstage at the Lanvin shows, and when I come out at the end, all I see are people's eyes.

I always wear a dinner jacket. I never have this definition of what goes for the morning or the evening or what works for the weekend.
