I appreciate that young girls look up to me. And I take that very seriously.

I actually used to smile a lot in pictures. I think I only stopped smiling when I got into fashion. Fashion stole my smile!

I consider all of my pieces to be investment pieces. A dress shouldn't be worn for one season - you should be able to wear it year after year.

I think the sexiest thing about a woman is confidence, but confidence in a humble way, not in an arrogant way.

When I started out in fashion, everything had to be very structured and tight and controlling, and now I'm getting to a point where I think - I could wear a great big parka, that could be quite fabulous. I haven't always got to show off my size, show off my shape. It's a turning point for me.

Red is a strong, happy, optimistic color, and I like having fun with it, you know? Like, when colors clash - I love that strangeness.

I love Brazilians. Brazilians ought to be made compulsory at 15.
