For me, the summer will be pure gray - mother-of-pearl gray, very pale gray. To me, this is the big statement for summer. Then we have light blue, light turquoise, lots of pink.

I really want to make clothes that are feminine and help women look beautiful.

I am not interested in the past, except as the road to the future.

Women are more sure of themselves today. They don't have to emulate the way men dress.

Do not go into trends. Do not allow fashion take you over, choose who you want to be and what do you want to show with your clothes and lifestyle.

I'm a little like Marco Polo, going around and mixing cultures.

I watch women continuously. I want them to look beautiful, I am not interested in making them funny, but just beautiful. They have got to look marvelous to please their own men.
