Girls who wear certain kind of dresses, who show certain areas of the body, are not going to like my clothes. You can't please everyone.

It saddens me to see the reality-television shows that are getting so much fanfare that are a celebration of stupidity and the degradation of women. And those women are consistently wearing too short, too tight dresses. I hope the trend of aging gracefully returns.

I am not the kind of designer who is racing to the finish line, so while collaborations are important for our growth, each and every one has to be strategic and well-timed with what we have going on internally.

I have a 6-year-old niece who doesn't look like the majority of girls on the covers of magazines. I hope that by the time she's 16, the world will have changed.

I make 98% of my collection in New York City and am generating jobs, so fashion isn't just frivolous for me. I understand levity about it. I also understand the depth of it.

Deepika is one of my absolute favourite Bollywood actors. It is wonderful to have someone of her stature wearing my brand

There is one universal truth: All women, all over the world, want to look beautiful. That is always the theme of my designs.
