It is difficult to read the reviews when you start because you see something in your collection and the press sees something else. That is when you have to be very strong about your own style. They can say whatever they want, but I do what I do because I love it.

When you work in fashion, you need to work as a team. You cannot do anything on your own.

I was brought up with considerable discipline, and I was taught it wasn't proper to display certain very private emotions in public.

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

For me, fashion begins in New York.

I always let other people describe me because if I describe myself you will not understand.

Fashion is to please your eye. Shapes and proportions are for your intellect.
