My wife Ricky is my muse. Her personal style and natural beauty have always been my inspiration.

Books open windows to the world and have the power to transform lives.

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.

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

I like magazines. I love to look at a magazine. But the magazines have got to get better. Everything pushes someone else to get better. So the Internet pushes the magazines.

I can drive a certain car one day with great pleasure, and the next day I'll be disappointed that the experience isn't as good as the day before. These cars have moods that change with the weather, or with the driver's own moods.

I went to my boss, and I said, 'Look, I'd like to design these ties because I think they could be new.' He said, 'The world isn't ready for Ralph Lauren.' I never forgot that because... I thought that was a compliment.
