I think a sense of humor is the most important thing anyone can have.

Fashion is magical, a fantasy. It's madness, and it doesn't last. It's changing all the time.

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

I love books; my suitcases are always full of them. Books and shoes. I read when I am sad, when I am happy, when I am nervous. My favourite British author is Jane Austen, and my favourite American one is John O'Hara.

When you do something that you like, and you think you can keep doing it, you don't think about retiring.

Work doesn't seem to interfere with my life. I have time for everything, even time to be alone.

You have to have talent to design and to dress thousands of women or millions of women around the world. And you know very well, the only thing they want is to look more beautiful.
