I’m a great believer in common sense, and the older I get I see that common sense is not that common

I don’t expect to find inspiration. It just sort of comes. Sometimes you step on a bug and you get inspired.

The woman should learn who she is and what she looks like and try to find the best points of dress accordingly. I also think that being appropriate has gone out of fashion. There are appropriate times to wear appropriate kinds of clothes.

I just mix and put things together the way the spirit moves me.

I think that if you have to work very hard at dressing up and it makes you nervous or uptight, then you won't look very well because you won't be comfortable. I think it's much better to be comfortable and happy than well dressed.

More is more and less is a bore.

Jewelry is the most transformative thing you can wear.
