My earliest influences were Coco Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent.
I love Yves Saint Laurent. I love Chanel. And Versace! Such beautiful gowns!
Yves Saint Laurent was the first person who made me feel like a woman.
I am not really sure that Diana Vreeland did Yves Saint Laurent a favor, as opposed to the world, by putting that exhibition at the Met in 1983. Because I'm sure that Saint Laurent started looking back at his own work. You see that with artists, don't you? Once they get their first retrospective, it's really hard for them to push ahead.
What I like about Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is that it's an understated scent that's somehow familiar.
Yves Saint Laurent liked women to put their hands in their pockets, or to hold cigarettes, and act a bit like boys. It was to give an impression of composure, some self-assurance, and to counter the feminine appearance.
My mum used to work for the Chanel store in Paris, so for me, I've always been very familiar with the brand because of her. I remember when I was very, very, little, our flat had Chanel shoe boxes, makeup, and some jackets.
Yves Saint Laurent hated fashion. He loved style.
Yves Saint Laurent mascara is the best I've ever tried.
I love designers like Lanvin, Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld, but I also like the preppy look championed by Tommy Hilfiger.
Great creators like Yves Saint Laurent or Jimmi Hendrix; they are people who are so smart and so sensitive. They have such a sharp vision of life that everyday life is complicated for them. They are moved and shocked with so many things that they have to make it positive with creation.
I am not ashamed to admit that I'm wearing Yves Saint Laurent from top to toe.
I've already bought another house in Tangier and the one in Deauville has been for sale for some time. As for Yves's Saint Laurent apartment, it is being sold because he's dead. But I won't be furnishing my home from Ikea.
Haute couture is a legitimate subject for Yves Saint Laurent and could resume one day.
Yves Saint Laurent has a special place in my heart because he was my mother's favorite designer.
All the drawings and sketches and clothes of Yves Saint Laurent in the '70s were so colorful, so bright.
