You want to be understood by the sophisticated few but you also have to be more loud somehow, otherwise your message doesn't go through.

Women often don't want to admit that they like fashion. And yet fashion enthralls everyone, from the taxi driver to the mega-intellectual. I have often asked myself why this is. I don't know the answer.

Ugly is attractive. Ugly is exciting.

I don't believe in people who think that clothes are not important.

I have to say that my husband and my children are so tough, there really is no space for pretension.

I think more and more, if you live in the current world - and live internationally - it's all a mix of interests, and the same people who are interested in fashion are also interested in movies, art, and culture.

Ugly is attractive, ugly is exciting. Maybe because it is newer. The investigation of ugliness is, to me, more interesting than the bourgeois idea of beauty. And why? Because ugly is human.
