Financially I'm comfortable. But life has a lot more in store for me.

I believe that style is the only real luxury,that is really desirable

It's the most beautiful job in the world to give happiness to people.

My generation in Japan lived in limbo. We dreamed between two worlds.

I can not forget Melina Mercouri in black dress at 'Never on Sunday'.

I just love the ideal of the surreal quality of putting it on a shoe.

I feel that things happen for a reason and open up new opportunities.

Dressing up. People just don't do it anymore. We have to change that.

Be well dressed, behave like a gentleman, and keep your shoes shined.

It's time to get your head out of the dumps and your legs in the air!

When I was a child, I never played with other children. I hated them.

Fashion and music are the same, because music express its period too.

Don't overact the story of your name. Overact the story of your work.

I drink Diet Coke from the minute I get up to the minute I go to bed.

There is nothing charming about a woman who cannot walk in her shoes.

I don't even know Amanda Seyfried or whatever - they're all the same!

I adore Jean-Louis Trintignant - even at 100 years old he's fabulous.

My opinion about myself is so based on what other people think of me.

I think to myself, 'You lucky woman - how did you have all this fun?'

Guys look best when they have a healthy disrespect for their clothes.

Everybody knows that I don't have a muse. I'm not interested in that.

I want to be happy and stable. My life is clearly going to slow down.

My sense of designing is a mix of intuition and intellectual control.

I hate pretty. It’s a very empty word. It gives a bad name to beauty.

Experience is the best teacher. A compelling story is a close second.

I always keep a woman's body in mind, accentuating her best features.

I have always loved things that are timeless and get better with age.

..It's not about age...I believe women of all ages can wear anything.

I tried to never exclude people. I know what it means to be left out.

I have the feeling I've always done what I wanted throughout my life.

It is so important to be really true to yourself in design, and I am.

I've never tried to do couture, because it's a whole different beast.

Every time I have to look up a word in the dictionary, I'm delighted.

Fashion is like a party. Getting dressed is preparing to play a role.

You have to focus on your dreams, even if they go beyond common sense.

Clothes aren't going to change the world, the women who wear them will

In anything you do, it's important to have your own personality there.

You wouldn't know it but I'm no good at... cooking. My chef does that.

Real elegance is everywhere, especially in the things that don't show.

No fashion is ever a success unless it is used as a form of seduction.

The idea of seeing everybody clad the same is not really my cup of tea

Since I was a child I've loved going to the opera, theatre and ballet.

Beware originality. In women fashion originality can lead to carnival.

You know I have never met a woman who is not strong. They don't exist.

What's important to me is to share, and being inspired, and inspiring.

I communicate mostly via e-mail and receive hundreds of e-mails a day.

Fashion is not frivolous. I am a businesswoman, a very serious person.

Everyone contributes something different to the mind, body and spirit.

I'm a fashion designer, not a shoe designer. I like to design clothes.

Even a kick in the ass is good when you're facing the right direction.
