I have a very Socratic approach - I pummel the designers with questions, so when I get them to step back from the work and look at it with me, they'll eventually see what I see, coming to it fresh and unencumbered. That's always very gratifying because they feel a responsibility and an ownership of a solution.

Take the high road. No matter how much strife, and consternation, frustration and anger you might be confronted with - don't go to that level.

I believe in letting karma do its thing. What comes around goes around.

I believe women do the best womenswear.

I will always be there in the wings saying, 'You need to be good to people. You need to take your work seriously. You need to have integrity. You need to work with what you've got.

Remember, channel your inner winner.
