Do you know what elegance is? It is not only what you're wearing. It is how you wear it. who you are inside.

The '70s were full of creativity. Everybody was so unique. It was a very creative period, and I think to be a designer you have to know a little about art and literature and music because there is inspiration in all of these things. You're looking for beauty but also something that makes sense.

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.

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

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

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