My clothes are great for a honeymoon: They're light and sexy, colorful and pretty, and not expensive.

I design for the woman I wanted to be, the woman I used to be and to some degree, the woman I'm still a little piece of.

My favorite days are the ones where I deal only with my own team, design, marketing, working on the next accessories collection.

I was a very young girl and I got into fashion very much by accident, wanting to be independent. What was wonderful was that while I was learning and discovering - learning about the work, discovering myself as a woman - I was allowing other women to feel the same way.

Nature is a source of strength.

It's more than just a dress; it's a spirit. The wrap dress was an interesting cultural phenomenon, and one that has lasted 30 years. What is so special about it is that it's actually a very traditional form of clothing. It's like a toga, it's like a kimono, without buttons, without a zipper. What made my wrap dresses different is that they were made out of jersey and they sculpted the body.

The secret to feeling attractive, and to being attractive, is the confidence that comes from knowing who you are and what you believe in.
