I love the return of sweetness and lace. Ladylike dressing is back and it's beautiful.

Fashion is much more than product. It's about entertainment and people feeling a part of something.

To me, I always listen to what my instincts tell me. The biggest mistakes I've ever made is when I've ignored what I know to be true in my heart.

I was always a great believer in starting at the top. I really think that focusing on a career and working your way up is way way way overestimated.

Life's too short not to enjoy what you're working on.

Knowing when you're not good at something and knowing when you are good at something is an art-form.

I should walk away. That would be the right thing to do. It would be the smart thing. But I can't, because I'm Taylor Caldwell, the girl who cuts.
