I want 'Vogue' to be pacy, sharp, and sexy - I'm not interested in the super-rich or infinitely leisured. I want our readers to be energetic executive women, with money of their own and a wide range of interests. There is a new kind of woman out there. She's interested in business and money.

Vogue' is the best of everything that fashion can offer, and I think we point the way. We are, you know, a glamorous girlfriend.

If you can't be better than your competition, just dress better.

Fashion is a reflection of our times. Fashion can tell you everything that's going on in the world with a strong fashion image.

People respond well to those that are sure of what they want.

I worked for Harper’s Bazaar. They fired me. I recommend that you all get fired; it’s a great learning experience.

I think what I often see is that people are frightened about fashion. Because it scares them or makes them feel insecure, so they just put it down. On the whole people that may say the mean things about our world I think that’s usually because they feel, in some ways, excluded or, you know, not a part of ‘the cool group’ so as a result they just mock it.
