Something you wore three months ago, maybe you don't wear it again. I am a great believer that if something looks very good on you, you can wear it again, and it's not the end of the world.

The word "elegance" is a bit different now.

You cannot forget about your femininity. You don't have to compete with men in that respect.

Work doesn't seem to interfere with my life. I have time for everything, even time to be alone.

I love books; my suitcases are always full of them. Books and shoes. I read when I am sad, when I am happy, when I am nervous. My favourite British author is Jane Austen, and my favourite American one is John O'Hara.

I believe that you have to treat the people who work with you like your family.

Money doesn't buy elegance. You can take an inexpensive sheath, add a pretty scarf, gray shoes, and a wonderful bag, and it will always be elegant.
