When I look at designer books I am sometimes puzzled why they don't share their inspiration, when it's obvious somebody had such great inspiration.

A piece of fabric can get me going.

The sexiest thing about a bikini is that it leaves something to the imagination, which is the best part.

I knew since the age of four that I wanted to be a clothing designer. I read an article in LIFE magazine about two young ladies that graduated from Parsons School of Design, and when they graduated they went to Paris and Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor opened a boutique for them. So I thought, "Oh, I just have to go to Parsons, that's all."

I never intended being a business person I wanted to be a fashion designer.

I just love the whole idea of conversational prints.

I always say the next big thing will happen in unexpected places - up and coming cities that aren't necessarily boom markets.
