If I wasn't in fashion, I would have been a psychiatrist.

Its important for women to work. They need to keep their independence, to keep earning and being challenged.

A magazine feature can reach hundreds of thousands of potential customers for a fashion brand. The way to reach a billion? Dress the actresses competing for attention at a highly televised event.

I tried to put direct to consumer through a wholesales channel - the industry was just not ready to adapt and change. The other issue I had was with Jimmy Choo.

It doesn't matter what you are wearing-if you have good shoes and a good bag, you'll look right.

The customer moved on long before the industry reacted to what she wanted. She doesn't want to buy things four months in advance, she wants to buy something today and wear it tomorrow. She cares less about seasons and collections and really what she's looking for is price, quality, and convenience.

Everyone in my office wears it all winter, it's our uniform because it's the easiest thing to wear.
