Regardless of how good or bad a collection might be, it's a letdown after the show is over. It's done. Something you've worked on for months is just over.

I have always felt my role as a designer is to do the very best I can for a woman to make her look her best. Fashion is only fashion once a woman puts it on.

My wife said I look like a Latin American dictator. I said, 'That's what I am'

Tell me, which designers in New York do you think are great - besides me, of course.

Today, there is no fashion, really. There are just... choices. Women dress today to reveal their personalities. They used to reveal the designer's personality. Until the 70s, women listened to designers. Now women want to do it their own way. There are no boundaries. And without boundaries, there is no fashion.

If you wear a different perfume every day, I do not recognize you.

A woman can wear anything- she can make it right.
