I would never dream of telling people how to dress. but I do say to them, however you are dressing, accept responsibility for it. And also, unless asked, I don't judge. And if asked to judge - I would approach it socratically, I would approach it with questions.

There's nothing I like better than going to my apartment, closing the door, cooking my little dinner for one and just tuning out. My apartment really is my haven. It's a nest where I go to heal.

I really believe things happen for a reason, and sometimes that reason isn't revealed until much much, much, much later.

The element of fashion I'd like to see more often? Clothes that fit people well. For me it's not so much about the clothes.

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.

Staples are only good if they truly suit our lifestyle.

Nothing makes me happier than working with real people in the real world.
