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

Nothing is contrived. At night, the clothes should pour like liquid over the body.

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

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

Never,ever confuse what happens on a runway with fashion. A runway is spectacle. It's only fashion when a woman puts it on. Being well dressed hasn't much to do with having good clothes. It's a question of good balance and good common sense.

The qualities I most admire in women are confidence and kindness.

It's important to excite the imagination of a woman.
