I have always felt my role as a designer is to do the very best I can for a woman to make her look her best. Fashion is only fashion once a woman puts it on.

My customers are successful workingwomen.

If you wear a different perfume every day, I do not recognize you.

Working for incredible talents like Balenciaga and Antonio Castillo, I learned about the immense skill and creativity involved in couture work.

I’ve lived every day to the fullest, and I’ve had a marvelous time. I’ve tried to be nice to the people I care about, and ignore the ones I don’t. I enjoy what I’ve done.

If you have the right to call me a hot dog why do I not have the right to call you a stale 3-day old hamburger?

I think the greatest reward I have is getting up and going to work each day. I love what I do.
