I encourage you to stop saying, "I just want to look not so bad" and instead say, "I want to look fabulous."

When people ask, Do you like children? I always say, I like some children, yes. Some children I don't like.

It's no wonder we know how to dress; we've spent centuries in closets.

I don't like people to feel completely described by the clothes they wear of mine. I want them to feel that they're describing themselves.

If you try to have a fashion show with Bach fugues and John Coltrane, it doesn't really work.

There is one common philosophy, one thing that you can do no matter who you are or what you look like: You can actually get passionate instead of remaining cool or instead of trying to look like everybody else. You can - you must - immerse yourself passionately in who you are if you want to have style.
