So many people are following fashion now. It's become fashion-tainment.

I don't believe in one ideal beauty.

Everybody wants to be a star right now, to be heard, to have a voice, so you have to give the confidence for people to have that ability - and give them the wardrobe to become a star.

The media is constantly redefining what luxury is. Luxury can be a dirty sock if dressed up in the right way.

In such a fast-paced world, gathering people around a table to share a meal allows everything to slow down. I would ask people to sit at least once a week around a table and just enjoy each other's company. Give them the time to talk, laugh, and fill their bellies. It seems like a small thing, but it can bring so much joy to so many people.

Every seam, every lace, every bead has been painstakingly, with love, corrected, perfected and mastered.

Taking sartorial risks and not following other people is what makes you stand out.
