The whole season thing is nonsense. It's either beautiful or it isn't. That's something I really learned when I started collecting dresses.

There is nothing scarier than being ‘the designer of the moment,’ because the moment ends.

If I wasn't a designer I would love to be a doctor. That is my fantasy, my dream. A doctor will give you a tablet if you have a headache and I will give you a dress and we both make you feel good.

If you change a woman's look, you change her persona.

I am very much a people person.

I don't think that you can write music if you don't know how to play an instrument. You have to know the basics, then you can go forward.

With fashion, I barely finish one collection before I must start another.
