Nature is a source of strength.

I design for the woman I wanted to be, the woman I used to be and to some degree, the woman I'm still a little piece of.

Building a wardrobe is like building a circle of friends your whole life.... Your own beauty is to be yourself, but of course we need tools and accessories.

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

I had a very down-to-earth product, my wrap dress, which was really a uniform. It was just a simple little cotton-jersey dress that everybody loved and everybody wore. That one dress sold about 3 or 4 million. I would see 20, 30 dresses walking down one block. All sorts of different women. It felt very good. Young and old, and fat and thin, and poor and rich.

Just don't go to a place where everything is too expensive... it'll put your husband in a bad mood.

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