Fashion is about the present and the immediate future. I think in terms of now.

Gardening is how I relax. It's another form of creating and playing with colors.

Any girl from any walk of life dreams of that special dress, and I try to make that dream a reality for her.

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.

Nothing says spring like hand-cut flowers.

The most important beauty is not that with which you were born, but the beauty of character which grows through a woman's life and maybe never stops growing.

I love to live well, I love to eat well, I love to buy beautiful things, and to give a fantastic time to my friends.
