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

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

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

I cannot go and tell women what to wear and what not to wear; you have to decide on your own.

I approach fashion as an evolution. It's always changing. As you know, sometimes it changes in three months.

I have a responsibility to the woman of today - to make her feel confident, modern and above all else beautiful.

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.
