Nature is a source of strength.

I never try to make a major fashion statement but I want to be the friend in a woman's closet. I make dresses that women get laid in.

If you're a little hippy and full-bosomed, don't try to remake yourself in the image of a skinny fashion model. It won't work. You can trim down your hips. You should always concentrate on special movements to keep your breasts firm and lifted and young. Hippy and bosomy can be very nice, very desirable. Accept it.

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.

Women never cease to impress and inspire me.

Don't let any of your good habits get boring.

New York seemed as young as I was and infinitely hospitable.
