I like romance, I like glamour and I like realism. I think that's a great combination.

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

Success isn't based on 'look what I can do!' but more on an inner sense of self and believing you have something to say in your own consistent way. And I think we all have to fight to maintain our unique style and taste in a world that would have us conform.

When friends enter a home, they sense its personality and character, the family's style of living - these elements make a house come alive with a sense of identity, a sense of energy, enthusiasm, and warmth , declaring: "This is how we are; this is how we live."

Having success at an early age gave me more of a sense of what's important in life rather than always driving to make it.

We're making a major move of the Internet, and runway. Polo.com is a natural extension of both polo.com and our collection business.
