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

One of my fondest memories was when I was in London as a young, independent businesswoman and stayed at Claridge's. I knew I had made it. To me, Claridge's is the most glamourous hotel in the world; I regard it as my home away from home. I am honoured to become part of the hotel's legacy and rich design history.

I said that Mrs Obama has been extremely supportive of American designers, but clearly we were disappointed that she chose to wear a British designer for the state dinner...From there, I was so embarrassed that I am definitely going to write to her. She has been super supportive to American designers.

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

I don't like to talk about my dreams. I like to make them happen. I prefer to talk about them when they're done.

I was 26 when I invented the wrap dress. It was just a nothing little printed dress made out an jersey, and before I know it, I lived an American Dream making more than 25,000 dresses a week.

If you're a good person, the goodness will continue through your descendants.
