When you do something that you like, and you think you can keep doing it, you don't think about retiring.

Fashion never stops. There is always the new project, the new opportunity.

I think elegance is always going to be there.

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

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

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

I love books; my suitcases are always full of them. Books and shoes. I read when I am sad, when I am happy, when I am nervous. My favourite British author is Jane Austen, and my favourite American one is John O'Hara.
