I have Vie Luxe candles in every room. In 2006 I spent the month of August in Sardinia, and the scent reminds me of the wonderful time we had.

I don't really care about gossip. I care about building great businesses.

I don't believe in delivering four times a year and then also delivering things that are not season appropriate.

[My consumer] is a combination of people who would have shopped with me when I was at Jimmy Choo and then also because of price point, there is a broader audience now that we can reach.

It felt like strappy sandals were looking really old lady-ish; really dated and not cool.

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.

My worst date would be with someone nervous who has nothing to say. I like people who inspire me.
