Fashion has to be worn; otherwise it doesn't exist.

I don't like to follow too many trends because trends tend to make women look like they are wearing uniforms.

For me, fashion begins in New York.

I think elegance is always going to be there.

It's very important to have a definitive style as a designer.

Fashion is to please your eye. Shapes and proportions are for your intellect.

The '70s were full of creativity. Everybody was so unique. It was a very creative period, and I think to be a designer you have to know a little about art and literature and music because there is inspiration in all of these things. You're looking for beauty but also something that makes sense.
