A girl should be two things: who and what she wants.

A woman who doesn’t wear perfume has no future.

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.

The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.
