I always think clothing is like a scrapbook: you remember all the good memories and the past times.

All I ever wanted to do was make things. My whole life has been a constant evolution on that theme.

I love the idea that you would wear vintage stuff with new stuff and wear stuff that's 5 years old.

When I was young, I lived like an old woman, and when I got old, I had to live like a young person.

Just don't go to a place where everything is too expensive... it'll put your husband in a bad mood.

I don't design for myself. I design something keeping in mind that it has to please a lot of women.

I've always thought of the T-shirt as the Alpha and Omega of the fashion alphabet, ... The White T.

My heritage is a huge part of everything I do; it is, after all, part of what has made me who I am.

EXTREME LUXURY ISN'T THE MOST BLING-BLING, IT'S EXTREME REFINEMENT, WHICH IS COUTURE AT ITS FINEST.

I want everyone to wear what they want and mix it in their own way. That, to me, is what is modern.

I wanted to become a cartoon artist, a portrait artist, and an illustrator. This was my first idea.

I don't like to dictate the style to the customer, I believe people give something their own trend.

Women of every age and size really just want to look sexy, while retaining their power and dignity.

Put even the plainest woman into a beautiful dress and unconsciously she will try to live up to it.

In a digital age, I still love sending and receiving cards, hand-writing notes, and wrapping gifts.

I went looking for dresses and realized there was a niche I could fill in the wedding dress market.

It's been a pattern in my life - when I get in trouble, I try to get out of it, since I was little.

I want to make clothes that people will wear, not styles that will make a big splash on the runway.

Fashion is not art. The aims of fashion and art are different and there is no need to compare them.

I´m a real believer that just doing a little something is a lot better than doing a lot of nothing.

Perfume must not be linked just to fashion because that means that one day it will go out of style.

We are going back to our roots by cultivating new unsigned talent who otherwise might go unnoticed.

As the mother of two daughters, I have great respect for women. And I don't ever want to lose that.

How do you stand out as a fashion ad campaign? By using people off the street it does generate buzz.

I buy vintage - mainly Alaia and some Westwood - but 90 per cent of the time, I wear my own designs.

Fashion has always been a repetition of ideas, but what makes it new is the way you put it together.

I find NY very inspiring, there is an amazing energy and flow of creativity in NY like nowhere else.

Perfume is the indispensable complement to the personality of women, the finishing touch on a dress.

The detail is as important as the essential is. When it is inadequate, it destroys the whole outfit.

In a machine age, dressmaking is one of the last refuges of the human, the personal, the inimitable.

Art has definitely influenced how I think of design, both as individual items and as a body of work.

You are the one that possesses the keys to your being. You carry the passport to your own happiness.

I'd rather promote New York than anything else in this world because New York to me means the world.

I love working in the markets, I love working with fabric. So I'm not that conditioned to one thing.

For me, restrictions are not always negative. Restrictions can push creativity. I like restrictions.

A perfume is more than an extract it is a presence in abstraction. A perfume, for me, is a mystique.

Style is having the courage of one's choices and the courage to say no. It's good taste and culture.

During a fashion show, I want the clothes to speak. The effort I put into my work must be respected.

The perfect integrity of The NewYork Times, and its writers, is not precisely 'just silly nonsense,'

I love to dance, and I love to see people dance. It is good exercise. It gives you a kind of energy.

I think when you sell your company and are no longer the master of driving it, it's quite difficult.

Half the time I don't even think about it, I just throw something on because I'm so late or so busy.

Even when I work with computers, with high technology, I always try to put in the touch of the hand.

I think there is always a need for pure design. With pure design, you don't need so much decoration.

My most precious possession is a 13.5-feet-long fishing rod, made by an American firm called Loomis.

What you see on the runway is designed and created in America. That's something we're very proud of.

I eat fish, three times a week meat, and if not yogurt, something like this and it rarely continues.

I wish I was making shoes instead of reading or watching movies, which is what I do in my free time.

I love attention. Maybe my desire for attention is a little too out of control, but I'm very honest.

I've never been a business person, nor have I ever pretended to understand the first thing about it.
