I always think the best way to dress is when the person notices you first and the dress after.

Style begins by looking good naked

Walk like you have three men walking behind you.

Now is the most exciting time in fashion. Women are controlling their destiny now, the consumer is more knowledgeable, and I have to be better every single day.

Fashion is about dressing according to what's fashionable. Style is more about being yourself.

A woman plays such an active role in society. And today, the woman who influences fashion is not that very rich woman who sits at home and polishes her nails. It's the one who works, who is a doer, who does things by dressing. She's very strongly projecting an image of herself as an individual.

I would like better to be known as the Godfather of Fashion, with all the implications that that word has.
