You never forget people who make you laugh.

Have I ever been horrified to see someone in my clothes? Many times, but I close my eyes and look the other way. That happens to everyone. What can you do? Go and tell her, 'Don't wear that dress again'? We designers always have fantasies in our heads, but the difficult task is to make them reality. Because you can be the best designer, but designing in your own place and with nobody wearing [your clothes], then what happens? You're nowhere.

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

My family - my husband, my daughters, my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren, all of them - are the most important thing in the world to me.

You feel very romantic when you're in a ball gown. Everyone should wear one once in a while.

Don't become a fashion victim is what I'm trying to say.

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