Fashion is not like the movie business, where you can have two great projects in a row and then say, "You know what? I'm going to take off eight months." What am I going to tell people? Wear last year's clothes?

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

Give me Caviar Kaspia and give me a hamburger. I love the two extremes.

It's funny when I hear people complain - particularly about the most fabulous parts of being a designer, like when you're getting ready to work on a show. I don't even know that I'm tired. I could stay up for six days straight! No drugs, no coffee, no nothing. I'm just so excited.

The greenest thing you could do in fashion, is to buy something great that you’re going to use for years

My legacy would be that you don't have to give up anything. You can be chic but have a sense of humor, you can be sexy but comfortable, you can be timeless but fresh.

People want to look taller and thinner. No one says, 'Ooh! Let me buy that dress because it makes me feel matronly!'
