Perfection does not exist - only God is perfect.

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

If you date someone who isn't very good-looking but makes you laugh, you will never forget it.

You never forget people who make you laugh.

The first painting that I realised I liked was 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' by Hieronymus Bosch, when I was six years old, at the Prado in Madrid. I still find myself returning there every time I'm in the city.

My family - my husband, my daughters, my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren, all of them - are the most important thing in the world to me.

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