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

You have to have curiosity in life. The moment you don't have any more curiosity, then don't do anything. Retire and stay in your house.

I have a responsibility to the woman of today - to make her feel confident, modern and above all else beautiful.

I don't think women need another black bag. Everybody has a black bag already, so I thought this season (needs) color.

One thing about my mother is that she has her taste: She knows what she likes and what looks good. It's not studied. There is no insecurity in what she is going to wear, and I think that translates into effortlessness. Her career has been a steady rise, and it hasn't been about the fashion of the moment. It's been because she has kept to her style. She didn't go grunge when it was grunge, or 70's when it was 70's. It's about being secure with what you like and not worrying about what's in fashion that particular day. That's what I admire about her.

Queen Elizabeth of England is the real fashion icon of the century. And she has a sense of humor.
