This is what I like about being a designer: You can't really get it until you see it.

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

To me, you can't have style without being inspired. When I design a collection, I am inspired by so many things. The color of a flower. The shape of a butterly's wing. The juxtaposition of an old tenement building next to a shiny new skyscraper.

The more relaxed you can get, the better you'll do

What you do, you don't think of as a product

Remember this: No one is looking at your imperfections; they're all too busy worrying about their own.

What if Woody Allen called me and said, I'm working on this movie and there's a really divine role for you. We want exactly you! It would be such a fantasy. Forget it! My idol, Woody Allen!
