To Feel Like A Woman, Wear Heels,

I Was Born In Paris In The Mid-1960s, And By The Time I Was 12 I Had Started Going To The Movies By Myself. Most Of The Movies Of That Period Never Appealed To Me. I Didn't Like The 'naturalism,' The Sad Or The 'down-to-earth' Characters. What I Wanted From Film Was Fantasy, Dreams, Funny Situations, Extravagant Decor - And Beautiful Women.

If I'm In Italy I'm Going To Have A Cappuccino And Two Small Brioches And Then A Mix Of Orange And Grapefruit. I Don't Drink Tea In Italy.

Breakfast Is A Peaceful Moment For Me, So I Never Have The Radio On, No Music, No Noise Around. The Only Noise That Is Permitted Is People's Voices. It's A Way For Me To Wake Up Without Too Much Of A High Speed Feeling.

There Is An Element Of Seduction In Shoes That Doesn't Exist For Men. A Woman Can Be Sexy, Charming, Witty Or Shy With Her Shoes.

I Never Wanted To Work In Fashion. At Age 12 Or 13, I Wanted To Design For Showgirls - For The Theater! And I Was Crazy For The Hollywood Of The 1950s: Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Jones. They Were My Idea Of Glamour - And Sylvie Vartan, The French Singer.
