I've always admired a woman who can dress for all occasions-someo ne who's not fashion crazy,but you always want to look like her.

I like magazines. I love to look at a magazine. But the magazines have got to get better. Everything pushes someone else to get better. So the Internet pushes the magazines.

I didn't have a vision as in, This is where I'm going. I had a vision as in, "This is what I love to do."

We all get report cards in many different ways, but the real excitement of what you're doing is in the doing of it. It's not what you're gonna get in the end - it's not the final curtain - it's really in the doing it, and loving what you're doing.

Some days I have a knot in my stomach because I've got to sit down and come up with something in womenswear that no one else came up with.

I never had a preconceived plan. When you go to a movie and watch someone in the role of his or her life, or when the chairman of the board comes into the room wearing a cool look, it remains in your mind. I love Cary Grant because I like the roles he played. I said, "I want to be that guy." I want to be funny, suave, and a good athlete. I don't have to do a focus group to know what people want. I feel it.

Fashion is not necessarily about labels. It's not about brands. It's about something else that comes from within you.
