Don't wear excessive make-up as you grow older. Young women can wear whatever make-up they want, but if you are older, you will regret it.

The first painting that I realised I liked was 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' by Hieronymus Bosch, when I was six years old, at the Prado in Madrid. I still find myself returning there every time I'm in the city.

You have to have a full-length mirror in your house so you can see what is missing and what you have to add to your look.

When you work in fashion, you need to work as a team. You cannot do anything on your own.

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