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.

Elegance is a discipline of life.

Style begins by looking good naked. It's a discipline. And if you don't dress well every day, you lose the habit. It's not about what you wear, but about how you live your life.

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

Work hard. Believe in yourself. It's not the publicity that sells the clothes, it's the woman.

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.

When a woman falls in love with something so much that she wants to wear it- it is at that point that it becomes fashion.
