You need somebody you respect and admire to back you always.

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

Attention to detail is of utmost importance when you want to look good.

It's important to find what really suits who you are, because style isn't only what you wear, it's what you project.

One thing about my mother is that she has her taste: She knows what she likes and what looks good. It's not studied. There is no insecurity in what she is going to wear, and I think that translates into effortlessness. Her career has been a steady rise, and it hasn't been about the fashion of the moment. It's been because she has kept to her style. She didn't go grunge when it was grunge, or 70's when it was 70's. It's about being secure with what you like and not worrying about what's in fashion that particular day. That's what I admire about her.

Fashion has always been a repetition of ideas, but what makes it new is the way you put it together.

You can't wait for people to tell you; you have to know yourself.
