Just like music evokes emotion, so can garments.

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.

Wear a fabulous smile, great jewelry and know that you are totally and utterly in control.

It would be very easy for us to do a collection that everybody would like and not criticize. But criticism is a part of life. You have to take it.

I have worked with wool all my life as a designer. There's so much more to it than knitwear - it's an amazingly versatile material and can be used in so many different ways from chic to rustic.

In order to be responsible, you need some discipline in your life. For a while I lost mine.

Fashion is all about happiness. It's fun. It's important. But it's not medicine.
