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

There is always an emotional element to anything that you make.

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

I hate pretty. It’s a very empty word. It gives a bad name to beauty.

Nothing says spring like hand-cut flowers.

Elegance is a discipline of life.
