I have always done what I love myself. My philosophy was that I never had focus groups. I did what I wear.

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.

..It's not about age...I believe women of all ages can wear anything.

Personal style is about a sense of yourself, a sense of what you believe in and wearing what you like.

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

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.

Breast cancer is not just a woman's issue - it affects all of us: the brothers, husbands, fathers, children and friends.
