You have to find your own style, and it's difficult to define what style is. It's not what you're wearing; it's how you wear it. It's something very personal, and it reflects the way you live and your house, the books you read, the art you have.

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.

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

I always let other people describe me because if I describe myself you will not understand.

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

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.

A man has to have sensibility, wit, mystery, tolerance, and strength... Romance also helps.
