American women often fall into the trap of, "Oh, these are my weekend clothes. These are my work clothes. This is what I wear at night." It's so old-fashioned.

The best design teams are not people who are exactly the same...otherwise you're just sitting and telling, 'You're fabulous.' 'No, you're fabulous.'

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

I know what women look good in. I don't think the rules ever change.
