Excess is not really something I consider a bad thing; especially when you are talking about living.

I'm a happy fellow. I feel very privileged, lucky, that I have had a wonderful life. And that I have been always allowed to do what I love.

What women have achieved in the last 50 years, I wish men would have achieved in the last 100.

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

I always tell this story: When I started, the woman went to the store to buy a dress. She saw it in pink and red, and then she remembered that the husband, who is probably going to pay for the dress, loves it in pink. So she buys the pink. Today, the same woman goes to the store and remembers the husband likes pink, and she buys the red.

Now is the most exciting time in fashion. Women are controlling their destiny now, the consumer is more knowledgeable, and I have to be better every single day.

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