I don't like to follow too many trends because trends tend to make women look like they are wearing uniforms.

There have been a lot of changes [in the fashion industry], of course. You just have to accept it and be strong.

I don't get my inspiration from books or a painting. I get it from the women I meet.

People get nervous accessorising, but there is nothing wrong with adding a belt or a pair of shoes in another colour.

You have to be a psychiatrist too, especially in fashion. A psychologist and a psychiatrist together.

Politics are private. I don't understand people who try to convince you to join one party or another.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of confusion today over what is sexy and what is vulgar. It's horrifying. They say, 'Oh, that girl is so sexy,' and she turns around and the dress is four sizes too small. Or she's wearing so much stuff, you wonder how long it took her to get ready.
