I have had a lot of good things happen, but I've also had a lot of terrible things happen.

When you think of the blur of all the brands that are out there, the ones you believe in and the ones you remember, like Chanel and Armani, are the ones that stand for something. Fashion is about establishing an image that consumers can adapt to their own individuality. And it's an image that can change, that can evolve. It doesn't reinvent itself every two years.

They know they're going to look beautiful, and I don't think women should look like costumes. They shouldn't look like fashion victims.

Ralph Lauren has always stood for providing quality products, creating worlds and inviting people to take part in our dream. We were the innovators of lifestyle advertisements that tell a story and the first to create stores that encourage customers to participate in that lifestyle.

The best thing you can do is go away from this saying, 'I can do this too,' because it's all possible and I'm living proof.

Black is not as good as Purple.

I believe in style, not fashion.
