I was brought up with considerable discipline, and I was taught it wasn't proper to display certain very private emotions in public.

I approach fashion as an evolution. It's always changing. As you know, sometimes it changes in three months.

Something you wore three months ago, maybe you don't wear it again. I am a great believer that if something looks very good on you, you can wear it again, and it's not the end of the world.

Fashion is not easy. You have to change your eye to look for beauty all the time.

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.

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!"

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