I didn't have a vision as in, This is where I'm going. I had a vision as in, "This is what I love to do."

Fashion is transient, trends come and go. I believe in style, not fashion.

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.

As I started to buy cars, I didn't know that I was building a collection. I just wanted the cars I was dreaming about. Once you drive a good one, it is like having a fever.

I don't like it when a woman looks like a fashion victim. 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.

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

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