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

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.

In fashion, the most important thing is to move on.

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 want to make clothes that people will wear, not styles that will make a big splash on the runway.

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