Iconic designer in his own words
ON HIMSELF I am very much down to earth. Just not this earth ON PYJAMAS Everybody should go to bed dressed like they have a date at the door ON FASHION SHOWS I'm a kind of fashion nymphomaniac who never gets an orgasm ON INTELLECTUALS I hate intellectual conversation with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion ON HIS SUNGLASSES They are my burka... I'm a little shortsighted, and people, when they're shortsighted, remove their glasses and then they look like cute little dogs who want to be adopted ON VANITY Vanity is the healthiest thing in life ON LEARNING LANGUAGES Anyone who is not at least trilingual is a hick ON ANDY WARHOL I shouldn't say this, but physically he was quite repulsive ON SHORT MEN I have a terrible loathing of ugly short men... women can be short but for men it is impossible ON HIS SECRET I am a sort of vampire, taking the blood of other people ON THE AESTHETICALLY CHALLENGED I hate ugly people. They are very depressing ON CHANEL What I do Coco would have hated. ON CHILDREN Having adult children makes you look 100 years old. I don't want that ON RUSSIAN MEN If I was a Russian woman I would be lesbian ON WORK ETHIC I'm never pleased with myself. I always think I'm lazy and that I could do better
