InStyle’s July issue hits newsstands on Friday, June 15.

On maintaining balance:
“I have created a very happy, healthy environment. When a job is over, I go home to my life.”

On husband Francois-Henri Pinault:
“He’s very romantic, and so am I. What’s really romantic are the moments that are unexpected. You can fly somewhere overnight to make [being together] ‘important,’ but it’s the little things of everyday life that count.”

On daughter Valentina:
“This morning I was feeling jet-lagged. I was still in bed when I heard somebody run into the room.

Valentina jumped on my bed and hugged me, and I go, ‘What are you doing? You scared me!’ She started giggling and said to me, ‘You desperately needed my energy.’

I was so surprised she said that. A four-year-old! And she’s holding me, and it’s so beautiful—and she was so right!”
