For Women Raised In The '70s, High

I Like Adele, Mika, Natacha Atlas And A Beautiful Old Record, 'an Evening With Belafonte/mouskouri,' Starring Harry Belafonte And Nana Mouskouri. What They Have In Common Is They All Have Incredible Voices. I Am Very Much Into Voices. I Would Say I'm A Fan Of Voices, Not Of Sound. I'm A Fan Of Singers, Not Of Bands.

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.

I Hate The Idea Of Natural. For Example, I Prefer Gardens To Wild Nature. I Like To See The Human Touch. High Heels Are A Complete Invention - An Extravagance. They're Far From Natural, But It's The Impracticality That I Adore. I Prefer The Useless To The Useful, The Sophisticated To The Natural.

In Paris, I Really Do Like To Try And Do Nothing... But That's Impossible.

The Higher The Better. It's More About An Attitude. High Heels Empower Women In A Way.
