Sometimes when I walk into one of my own stores, I look at the display and say, "This looks so good - I want to buy it." Yet other times I walk in and the displays and mannequins will be all wrong, and I don't want to buy anything. When a customer walks into a store, she's looking for inspiration. So I'm tuned in to people, and I care about what they need and who they are.

Our kitchen is warm; it's who we are. And it has everything. Honestly, I could get rid of the rest of the house and just live in the kitchen.

Each day is an occasion to reinvent ourselves

The clothes that I design and everything I've done is about life and how people live and how they want to live and how they dream they'll live. That's what I do.

Glamour is an attitude-it's the expression of a certain kind of confidence. A glamorous woman is always elegant, but she also possesses an air of mystery and excitement. She's dramatic-almost untouchable.

When I create a collection, I approach it with a cinematic point of view-I am not designing clothes, I'm creating a world.

I think the people who work with me are people who love style themselves. I'm leaving the office and they're still working. They're passionate.
