I am not a great believer in fairy tales. Every woman should fight hard for her own happy endings. Although occasionally it is nice to wake up as a princess.

People are always surprised when they spend time with my children by how normal they are. They're polite. They're well mannered. They're very down to earth, in a way.

Alexander McQueen... The fashion world has not only lost an icon but we have also lost a very special friend.

You can't pretend that everybody likes Versace. It would be boring. It's better to create a reaction than to create no reaction. That's dangerous.

I understand that the rule of fashion is to change, even as a successful designer - you do not want to be stuck in the same rut.

Sometimes big designers are afraid that people won't recognize them if they change that much.

I always wear high heels - I simply feel naked without them.
