Can I tell you who is the most important fashion icon in the world? Queen Elizabeth of England. Think about that. She has never put her foot anywhere wrong and always looks fantastic.

If you think that you did everything and know everything and that everything has been done perfectly well, then it's time to retire.

You can't wait for people to tell you; you have to know yourself.

It's very important to have a definitive style as a designer.

I rarely go into a shop on holiday, because fashion and design are what I'm involved in every day. I need another world.

I walk in the park every day, and when people come and ask for a photograph, I say, "Oh, my God!" It means they recognize that I have been doing something right and they want to have a photograph taken with me.

You never forget people who make you laugh.
