Quote of the day: Pierre Hardy



Pierre Hardy

“Working on the same parts of the body all the time is not frustrating. It’s like metonymy. In fashion, shoes have a very particular status. The foot is at once the most scorned part of the body – people don’t like to show their feet – and the one it’s tempting to use the most flamboyantly, and sometimes, too, in the most artificial way. There aren’t many things more remote from anatomy than a court shoe. It’s an absolute anatomical aberration.”

But the fight for power was exhausting, empty and ridiculous. I had also run out of stories to tell. But I wanted to be a good girl, so I pushed, pushed and pushed. And then, the day before the Chloé show, in my bedroom surrounded by designer clothes, I broke down. I started crying, and I couldn’t stop. I had tried to talk to friends about these feelings that I’d been having for years. All I would hear back in response was, “You have a dream life, don’t let it go.”
