I try to concentrate on quality clothing and accessories that are worth having, and to get my people to take fewer trips by air and stay longer each time they travel. It’s more human, especially if they take time to visit an art gallery while there.

I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.

I can't think without my glasses.

Instead of buying six things, buy one thing that you really like. Don't keep buying just for the sake of it.

When I'm in the street, the only people I notice are usually at least 70 years old, because they look really stylish.

I didn't want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn't like it. I always wanted to do other things.

Why do people think that if you don't dress up, others will appreciate your beauty more - that style will somehow emanate from you? It's rubbish. If you dress up it helps your personality to emerge - if you choose well
