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.

Women think black is the most flattering color, but they're wrong. Pink adds a cosmetic-like radiance and warmth. Black drains the skin of color; pink delights the eye.

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.

The most important thing? Perfect lighting at all times.

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

I always say: To be well dressed you must be well naked.

I do not have one theme for each season, I just try to make beautiful clothes all year round.
