Fashion is a completely international business.

I think that life has brought a lot to fashion, and fashion brings plenty to life. I took my children on photo shoots, at the same time, I borrowed my father's sweater for a photo shoot and, then, I am inspired by a Russian princess because of my Russian roots. Everything is all mixed in together.

You can't learn how to be elegant; you can only learn how to avoid mistakes. The rest is instinct. Elegance is about the way you cross your legs, not the label or the newest clothes from the latest collection.

You're not on your own. You're doing things with other people. This is very important for me.

My biggest icon is Liz Taylor because I don’t think she had great taste but I loved her energy.

Makeup can help you capture a moment.

Do what you are not supposed to do, like wear white shoes all year round.
