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

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

I think it is good that fashion is a challenge because when something is a challenge, you want to do it better.

I always let other people describe me because if I describe myself you will not understand.

Sometimes I'm a psychiatrist and I tell people in my office that my door is open, and if they have a problem to come and talk to me. Sometimes I say, "I have to close the door because I don't want to hear it!"

It is difficult to read the reviews when you start because you see something in your collection and the press sees something else. That is when you have to be very strong about your own style. They can say whatever they want, but I do what I do because I love it.

I don't want the collections to look like a potpourri. It has to have a cohesive idea, and it has to be glamorous and beautiful and fit well.
