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

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.

Fashion never stops. There is always the new project, the new opportunity.

You feel very romantic when you're in a ball gown. Everyone should wear one once in a while.

It's not all about beauty! It's also about a sense of humor.

Luxury will be always around, no matter what happens in the world.

There have been a lot of changes [in the fashion industry], of course. You just have to accept it and be strong.
