I've always thought of accessories as the exclamation point of a woman's outfit.

Women are much more comfortable making their own style rules now. They want pieces that will make their busy lives easier.

I not only enjoy it, I think, how do you design things that are applicable to life - unless you live it?

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 French are not afraid of their luxury. Americans can be so puritanical and think, "That's my special-occasion bag." Whereas, for a French woman, it's her everyday bag.

The craziest thing about fashion people in general, not just designers, is that it's always, "Oh my God, you lost weight! I love your hair!" Or "Oh, you're so tan!" Or, "You're so skinny! I love your shoes!" These are fashion icebreakers. Everyone's always looking at each other.

I mean you might have wanted Carrie Bradshaw, but to me she's like toddlers and tiaras gone berserk!

I can't dance and I can't sing too well.
