One thing about my mother is that she has her taste: She knows what she likes and what looks good. It's not studied. There is no insecurity in what she is going to wear, and I think that translates into effortlessness. Her career has been a steady rise, and it hasn't been about the fashion of the moment. It's been because she has kept to her style. She didn't go grunge when it was grunge, or 70's when it was 70's. It's about being secure with what you like and not worrying about what's in fashion that particular day. That's what I admire about her.

You can wear them with anything. It's the person and the way that they wear it that makes it different. I have been designing white shirts forever, but I don't get tired of it.

If you date someone who isn't very good-looking but makes you laugh, you will never forget it.

I have a responsibility to the woman of today - to make her feel confident, modern and above all else beautiful.

I want women to choose something that makes them feel empowered and fantastic and admired by many people.

Fashion is magical, a fantasy. It's madness, and it doesn't last. It's changing all the time.

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