Men tell me that I've saved their marriages. It costs them a fortune in shoes, but it's cheaper than a divorce. So I'm still useful, you see.

Trends don't interest me.

My most treasured clothing item is first suit that I made - acid green. It was disgusting, but I love it. It's been mended a million times, but I still wear it.

When somebody wants to work and believes in something, it doesn't matter if you're well known or rich or whatever it is.

Paris is paramount for fashion, always was - always will be.

If I was a woman, I would be dressed in the same thing for a month and just change my hat and gloves. Maybe my shoes too; yes, I see what you mean but, really, it's jewels that change an outfit.

Really, the '70s and '80s were a blur.
