My husband and I were in Paris for the weekend and I hated wearing anything that was in style. I really loved '50s dresses, so we started going around Paris and hunting this stuff down. It became like this treasure hunt. From then on, I felt like a pirate every time I left Paris.

When I have a cocktail, I love a vodka and cranberry. But when I was a kid my mother was really against drinking, because it was so bad for your skin. She'd say, "Stephanie, it's much better to wash your face with vodka."

The art isn't there to be purchased - it's there to be enjoyed.

It makes me happy when my sons come home and tell me, 'We bumped into Donatella and she says hi.'

I always hang up my own dresses. It is a good lesson in appreciation and in always remembering that you're part of a team, not outside of the team, but with the team and on the team.

Probably the most important piece of advice that I've ever gotten is to develop your mind. I left school very young and I always regretted it.

I love living with animals. And my children love animals. I love walking around and being with the horses. But the deer? They're naughty.
