The best way to make dream come true is to wake up.

Fashion is not beautiful, neither is it ugly. Why should it be either? Fashion is fashion.

Tears? Are you going for a Barbara Walters moment?

I'm very good at delegating - people work much better when they have a real sense of responsibility. But at the same time, I don't like surprises. I don't pore over every shoot, but I do like to be aware at all times of what's going on.

I don't really follow market research. In the end, I respond to my own instincts.

I saw young women in the street dressing in a way that I thought was influencing the designers. Fashion was being influenced by all sorts of different people, and culture and also across the street. So I saw more as a trickle up, than a trickle down influence. When I came to Vogue, that's what I wanted it to reflect.

There's a new kind of woman out there…She doesn't have time to shop anymore. She wants to know what and why and where and how.
