Fashion should be fun. It shouldn't be labelled 'intellectual.'

For me, fashion begins in New York.

I rarely go into a shop on holiday, because fashion and design are what I'm involved in every day. I need another world.

I don't want the collections to look like a potpourri. It has to have a cohesive idea, and it has to be glamorous and beautiful and fit well.

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.

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

The word "elegance" is a bit different now.
