I think the older I get, the more I realize that the ultimate luxury is time.

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

I think the trick is, how do you spend time doing it but make it look like you haven't spent time doing it? Over the years you look at women like Lauren Hutton and everyone says: 'She just pulled her hair back and ran out of the door.' I've been in fittings with Lauren and she definitely thinks about it. She just knows how to make it look easy.

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

Ultimately, clean lines have greater longevity, which women appreciate, and to which they can add their own personality

The perfect accessory can make the difference between looking blah and totally to die for
