I love Yves Saint Laurent and Giambattista Valli and Givenchy, and I get given quite a lot, but perhaps nothing is as wonderful as the white fake leather trench coat I got when I was 15.

I am a makeup junkie... Yves St. Laurent, Christian Dior, and anything else that looks good.

All the drawings and sketches and clothes of Yves Saint Laurent in the '70s were so colorful, so bright.

Yves Saint Laurent was the first person who made me feel like a woman.

Yves Saint Laurent was my first fashion show. I wore his tuxedo. And Helmut Newton was my first photographer, in 1973. I was really very lucky. I had an amazing career.

My earliest influences were Coco Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent.

What I like about Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is that it's an understated scent that's somehow familiar.

My favourite designer is Mulberry - their bags are lovely, but their clothes are amazing, I don't think people realise. I love D&G, Fendi, Moschino, Chanel, Armani - all the classics!

Haute couture is a legitimate subject for Yves Saint Laurent and could resume one day.

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.
