Always have fun with fashion. Dress to entertain yourself.

A good use for me is to let me go away with my sewing machine and come back with some really new stuff.

When you're designing clothing, you really only have one point of focus, and that's the body. But home is fabrics and furniture and floors and natural light. If fashion is a planet, home is more like a universe.

I'm usually the sparkle in a closet full of conservative clothes. Either that or my customer has a closet full of my clothes and a few conservative suits from Calvin Klein. I think you've got to give a girl what's missing from her closet. If something jazzy, tacky or sexy is what's missing, I provide it.

Real success is being totally indulgent about your own trip. You put your blinders on about the garbage and go full speed ahead.
