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.

The success of every single woman is the inspiration for another.

When you come to a hotel room, you want it to be grand, functional and beautiful. But you don't want things that are not useful. Sometimes you go to hotels and there are all these frames and pictures of people you don't know, and you end up hiding everything in the drawer, and then housekeeping come and put it out again.

If you are trying to slip out without waking a sleeping man, zips are a nightmare. Haven't you ever tried to creep out of the room unnoticed the following morning? I've done that many times.

I travel light. I think the most important thing is to be in a good mood and enjoy life, wherever you are.

The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.

Fashion can be this mysterious thing that you can't explain.
