I think the accessories look very modern and very exciting. These big earrings, these big hoops. I think the girls are sort of falling in love with... collars, neck collars.

It’s easier to follow fashion than it is to have personal style.

I'm a fan of people that have quality, that do what they do and that are not into the showbiz.

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

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.

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.

My dreams are my work. I design out of the things that I love.
