Remember that, in the end, the customer doesn't know, or care, if you are small or large as an organization - she or he only focuses on the garment hanging on the rail in the store.

My success was also owed to career women who maybe had big legs or ample thighs, who felt well-protected by my fluid clothing that hid their flaws.

Remain true to yourself and your philosophy.

I love things that age well - things that don't date, that stand the test of time and that become living examples of the absolute best.

I know that people who have been closely involved with my work for many years are terrified of having to answer to someone else, someone who is not me, and that it won't be me to help them in their problems. This is my real problem.

Sì is my tribute to modern femininity, an irresistible combination of grace, strength and independent spirit.

A perfume is more than an extract it is a presence in abstraction. A perfume, for me, is a mystique.
