For me, Chanel is like music. There are certain notes and you have to make another tune with them

Like poetry, fashion does not state anything. It merely suggests

Success nullifies. You then have to do it again, preferably differently

Chanel is an institution, and you have to treat an institution like a whore – and then you get something out of her

The French say you get hungry when you’re eating, and I get inspired when I’m working. It’s my engine

Fashion is ephemeral, dangerous and unfair.
