Feeling good about yourself and your life is very important. I'm a happy woman, happy with my husband, my daughters, my grandchildren. We all get along quite well, and that keeps me centered.

Life is hard. It is not too short, it is too long. But you have to learn how to live; you have to have a sense of humour.

I love myself so much, I simply cannot describe it.

Just wear what you think looks beautiful.

I didn't long to be a designer. I always liked fashion, but it was always a bit sleeping in me.

Something you wore three months ago, maybe you don't wear it again. I am a great believer that if something looks very good on you, you can wear it again, and it's not the end of the world.

Elegance isn't solely defined by what you wear. It's how you carry yourself, how you speak, what you read.
