I love working in the markets, I love working with fabric. So I'm not that conditioned to one thing.

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

I do remember how sexy my collection was after I first got involved with Stephan [Weiss]. That's one thing I don't have in my life now and...if anything, that's one thing I would love.

I've been away and haven't seen my family. I speak to them every day though. I miss them, but I love traveling.

I think it's changing is that business is not as good as it was and it has become a real question in the world of fashion. You see, bags and shoes don't take on the seasonal quality that fashion does. A black leather bag can be good in any season, but you can't say the same about fashion, particularly about fabrication.

Basically, I was a hippie and still am a flower child.

You don't have that much choice in your life, which is one of the big lessons I've learned. I was going to be a designer whether I wanted to be a designer or not. So there I was.
