Wow. That was quite an entrance.
Oh, yes, I'm 76. But I really, really should be 300. Why? Well, because I've had a very full life. I've done a lot of things, lots of travels, lots of people, lots of... So I feel like there's no way I can make myself even a day younger because I feel like I have lived... Very much every moment.
No. Well, I feel my age. I feel that I have lived every single day of my life. In that life, in that short life, even though I'm 76, I have piled up so much that I certainly could not feel any younger. I am who I am. So I get the sense you love being your age. Well, I love being alive. Yeah. That's how long I have been alive. So, yes.
Oh, nice. That's good. And you were how old?
Do you remember your first souvenir? What is it that you did in that dress?
Oh, you look super hot. I need that picture. Okay. I want a copy of that picture. It needs to go in my archive.
You look hot.
I think the most important thing is to be true to yourself and to like yourself as much as possible. So obviously the staple should be what you are comfortable in and something that represents you at the best way or that allows you to be yourself, you know? And listen, when I created that dress, I had no idea that I would... I would eventually sell tens of millions of them.
But it did something. It awakens things in people. And I don't know. So, you know, I mean, I created the wrap dress, but truly it's the dress that created me because it gave me my freedom. It gave me my independence. It gave me my identity. So... It's one of those things. But as far as, I think every woman, like you have a small waist, so wrap dresses obviously look good on you.
I don't really have a small waist, so I go for more fluid. But every one of us finds something... that we have a tendency to go to. To accentuate like, you mean? Yeah, and it becomes your personality and your style.
And so, you know, for DVF, it's about making clothes, you know, thinking about all the different morphology of a woman, you know, with the one who likes to accentuate the waist, the one who doesn't, and therefore you go fluid. And the ones who are very body calm, who like to show the entire body. Then you deal with the fabric. Fabrication is so important.
And then, of course, we have colors and we have prints. So in DVF, the colors are our letters. The prints are the words. The fabrication and the silhouette makes the sentence. Nice.
No, I don't think that's stupid. I don't think I have a white blouse, actually. Do you want me to get you a white blouse? No, not particularly. Okay. You know, but I could tell you, I would say everybody needs a black turtleneck. Ah, this is good to know.
Okay, first of all, the word aging, I would change the word aging and say living, right? Oh, thank you. That's perfect. Perfect. Age is life. Yes. So instead of saying, how old are you? People should say, how long have you lived? Oh, my God.
And automatically it changes everything, even to a child. Yes. How long have you lived, little boy? I have lived 11 years. Wow. That's impressive. Yeah. And then if you ask an older person, I have lived 76 years. Wow. You know, so aging for me is life. It is not a decay. Yes, yes, yes. It's a continuation of life.
So for me, aging is the proof of living. Mm-hmm. And also, if you have, if you manage to be my age, well, it's already, I mean, I thought I was going to die before I was 30. Why? Why? Because I had done so much in my 20s that I didn't think that it was possible to continue like that. I see. And so I thought that all these things, I had two children by the time I was 24.
I had a successful business. I bought my house. So I did basically everything before I was 30. So I used to think that that would be the end. And then it turned out not to be.
Actually, I think you could wear culottes until you're 90.
I mean, it depends how short they are. I mean, I don't think you should try to look sexy because that looks ridiculous.
No, just in behavior. I think it's beautiful to live who you are. And you are, you know, you are accumulation of all your life. So the most important thing is to be true to yourself. As long as you're true to yourself, you are free.
