I created the peplum so you can eat in it. You can have a dessert, you can have another sandwich.

Elegant is not what you wear, and it's not about how you wear it, but it's more about who you are.

I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.

I am very much a people person.

Making them feel gorgeous and comfortable is my way of making women's lives easier.

I always think, if I were an editor, and I was invited to a show, and I would have to wait for 45 minutes in the dark or in the cold or in the heat, maybe I would like to have a fresh drink or a piece of chocolate.

Almost every collection I do has 200 different references. I don't have two of the same coat, two of the same dress. I have it in one color, in one fabric. I've tried to adapt the culture of couture, and the know-how and the heritage, but I try to update it.
