Frankly, from my perspective, the bomber jacket is such a classic item you can wear it even when it's not on trend.

I've had my own moments in front of designers when I've actually said, 'You know, there's a market here for expanding your work, and here it is. And frankly, there are two markets: The women who are larger than the 12, and then there are women who are petite. And most designers that I talk to have absolutely no interest in addressing either of those populations, which I find repugnant.

You can be too rich and too thin, but you can never be too well read or too curious about the world.

I would certainly rather the industry not go broke, but if that's what it takes for everyone to acquire some values and lose that sense of entitlement, maybe a little belt-tightening wouldn't be so tragic.

Most designers want to show apparel that makes the wearer look as long and lean as possible. And most people who buy clothes want to look as long and lean as possible.

I just don't like conspicuous consumption. I find it distasteful.

Everyone has a best feature, so find clothes and accessories to accentuate those, whether it’s your shoulders or your long legs!
