Even if it doesn't fit the woman, like, let's say a very short skirt, and the woman doesn't have the legs or the height to wear the skirt, but she has to wear it because it's fashionable. Don't do it! If it doesn't look good on you, don't worry about it.

I didn't long to be a designer. I always liked fashion, but it was always a bit sleeping in me.

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

A wedding dress is both an intimate and personal for a woman - it must reflect the personality and style of the bride.

I don't like trends. They tend to make everybody look the same.

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.

I walk in the park every day, and when people come and ask for a photograph, I say, "Oh, my God!" It means they recognize that I have been doing something right and they want to have a photograph taken with me.
