We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.

Although I have no plans to tweet, I am fascinated by developments on the Internet.

I am not interested in shock tactics. I just want to make beautiful clothes.

My job as a designer is to make a woman feel her very best.

I'm a happy fellow. I feel very privileged, lucky, that I have had a wonderful life. And that I have been always allowed to do what I love.

There is no sound more feminine than a woman in a taffeta dress.

We're dealing with sophisticated customers. What's most important to these women is individuality. I have to create things she'll want to wear, no matter who she is.
