I rarely go into a shop on holiday, because fashion and design are what I'm involved in every day. I need another world.

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 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.

A wedding dress is both an intimate and personal for a woman - it must reflect the personality and style of the bride.

A man has to have sensibility, wit, mystery, tolerance, and strength... Romance also helps.

There have been a lot of changes [in the fashion industry], of course. You just have to accept it and be strong.

I want women to choose something that makes them feel empowered and fantastic and admired by many people.
