The biggest mistake a woman can make is not to be herself in public or private.

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.

When a woman becomes her own best friend life is easier.

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.

Simplicity and sexiness, that's what people want. At a price that's not outrageous.

There's design and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature - if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty - but mostly suffering!

The more independent you want to be, the more generous you must be with yourself as a woman.
