Learn to invest in the best quality you can afford and wear pieces in different ways.

I think a lot of women have too many mini skirts in their closets.

I think quality will be increasingly important-we're moving away from a time of fast fashion. But really, the only constant in fashion is that you must keep moving forward, otherwise you'll be left behind.

Travel is the ultimate inspiration.

In early days, I showed everything I made. There was no such thing as editing a collection. In the '80s, it got to the point where we'd have shows with a hundred looks. You'd want to order a pizza before it was over!

If you want to have longevity, then I think that you have to have a point of view, but at the same time still be elastic. Things evolve, the world changes, but people have to know you for who you are so they know what you stand for.

For me, true luxury can be caviar or a day with no meetings, no appointments and no schedule.
