You were so famously Yves Saint Laurent's muse and he's spoken so kindly about how you’re his dream woman. How do you feel about Hedi Slimane at YSL?
"I actually saw the live stream. I know Hedi very much because he is a huge fan of my husband's so I introduced them years ago. I think critics are missing the point. Because people were for it and people were against it, but I think they were missing the point. First of all, it’s tough, but he is true to himself. And if you dissect the collection, it’s extremely wearable. But, look at Alber Elbaz. He was literally fired from YSL, but look at Lanvin now! And look at Marc Jacobs. Remember, he was fired from Perry Ellis. It takes time but I think, in YSL, I can see the DNA. I can see where it’s going to go. And he’s going to surprise everyone in the next collection. I think he’s done a great job especially with fine tuning Yves Saint Laurent. You know, most French people call it Saint Laurent! Nobody calls it Yves Saint Laurent. So I think he knows what he’s doing."

Are there emerging designers who have that same clarity of vision, in your eyes?
"There is one. He’s off the radar. Tribune Standard. He’s something to be looked at, that one. He’s fully accomplished from tailoring to the complete look. You can see the lookbook and it is a collection. It’s a fully informed collection. I think he’s going to go far."
