I've been learning French a bit through my work with Longchamp, and I've been in France quite a lot. And I really love how they express themselves. I especially love when something is untranslatable.

It's always great to have things from France at a wedding. It's symbolic of style, of culture, of taste.

When you live in Paris, and fashion is such a point of pride for the French, it's always around and you're very much exposed to it from an early age. It was always something I knew about and really liked.

I'm quite into the French way - simple elegance with just a suggestion of sexiness, nothing vulgar.

I'm always fetishizing the French woman and French taste and style. My assistant will make fun of me because every time we're picking the direction of a collection, I say the same thing: 'I want it to be really French.'

The French are very individualistic.

One of the reasons I love to come to Paris is because the decorative arts are so refined that I am always walking through one proscenium into another frame.

It's amazing to see things that are suggested in the book fully developed and so brilliantly realized through the artistry of the designers.

You get the feeling that many of my guests feel that the French language gives them entry into a more cultivated, more intelligent world, more highly civilised too, with rules.

The French have got taste.
