You look at the world situation, look at London, Paris, Italy, it is all basically the same as the U.S. Then you look at other places such as India, Bali, with warmer climates, you know the Southern climates, they are very different. I think there is a time and place for everything and in Australia, for example, it is completely the opposite. I don't think we can be designing for that customer per se.

Everything I do is a matter of heart, body and soul. For me, designing is an expression of who I am as a woman, with all the complications, feelings and emotions.

I'm not a fan of Donald Trump. To be perfectly honest, I don't think violence is the answer to anything and I think, hopefully, she [Hillary Clinton] will be our president.

I must say that the more you give, the more you get. Being able to find solutions, to help other people is extremely gratifying.

I never see one woman when I design, it's always a universe of women

We've come a long way. Power dressing now is designed to let the woman inside us come through.
