I do think fashion is fun! Much more than people think. ”

I miss my parents. But still, my granddaughter, my daughter, my grandma, you know, so it's very important for me. You lost your parents, but a new baby comes. It's like the cycle of fashion. ”

What is chic is just to be perfect, like magical, no? ”

My father was very chic. My mum was always encouraging me. Some parents would say, 'Why don't you be a lawyer, a doctor, or something more important?' They never said that. ”

I'm not a Facebook girl. Even though there is a fake Facebook with my name, it's not me. I'm not on Twitter; it's not me. ”

At the start, I had no idea to go into fashion, because I thought people would think I was stupid. I don't worry about those things anymore. ”

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens. ”

In my 10 years, I never put a girl that was too skinny in French 'Vogue.' ”

To be a good model, you have to be very smart. ”

Monsieur Saint Laurent was pathologically shy, and he made the Saint Laurent woman in his own image. Like her, I am shy. And to protect myself, I adopted something of an androgynous look, just as his women did. ”
