I wanted to be an empowered woman, and I became an empowered woman. And now I want to empower every woman. And I do it through my clothes, I do it through my words, I do it through my money, I do it through everything.

You are the one that possesses the keys to your being. You carry the passport to your own happiness.

All women are strong. My mother survived Auschwitz, and fear wasn't an option when we were growing up. If we were afraid of the dark, we were put into the closet until we weren't.

My son loves the Hotel du Cap, in the south of France.

Animals come from nature. They were not designed. All my inspiration comes from nature, whether it's an animal or the layout of bark or of a leaf. Sometimes my patterns are very bold, and you can barely see where they come from, but all the textures and all the prints come out of nature.

Be proud of yourself. Try to eat well...and when you cheat, enjoy it!

You can learn a lot from my mistakes more than my success.
