I like to think that I can introduce people to the idea of simplicity and elegance.

I wanted to dress the woman who lives and works, not the woman in a painting.

That is what [Andy] Warhol portraits do: They elevate the subject into an icon of the pop culture he was documenting.

I design for real people. I think of our customers all the time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that are not practical.

From the elitism of luxury to the democracy of beauty.

Individual style is the correct balance of knowing who you are, what works fro you, and how to develop your own personality

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.
