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.

I have always been inspired by the dream of America-families in the country, weathered trucks and farmhouses; sailing off the coast of Maine; following dirt roads in an old wood-paneled station wagon; a convertible filled with young college kids sporting crew cuts and sweatshirts and frayed sneakers.

Each day is an occasion to reinvent ourselves

Some women think that if the look this season is minis, they have to wear minis. If you don't have great legs, there are plenty of alternatives.

I exercise at the gym with a trainer. I feel it's very healthy, very important - important for everybody. I feel it's good for you. It makes you feel better. It loosens you up a little bit.

For me, style is about quality, integrity and timelessness. It is free of trends but always feels fresh and new.

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.
