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

The qualities I most admire in women are confidence and kindness.

Regardless of how good or bad a collection might be, it's a letdown after the show is over. It's done. Something you've worked on for months is just over.

Be the designer of your own destiny.

It’s not about what you wear, but about how you live your life

You have to appreciate every single day that you're alive. Life is a little bit like a garden - you have to find time to plant the seeds for beautiful flowers to grow.

Every day you have to reinvent yourself

A fragrance is like a signature, so that even after a woman leaves the room, her fragrance should reveal she's been there.

Fashion is about dressing according to what's fashionable. Style is more about being yourself.

Walk like you have three men walking behind you.

Things never happen on accident. They happen because you have a vision, you have a commitment, you have a dream.

For me, every week is a fashion week.

It's what I call the haute couture, high-end version of fear perfectionism. It's just fear in really good shoes. But it's still fear.

Work travel for me, which is - I hate to say it - more enjoyable now that I have kids.

We hand folks over to God's mercy, and show none ourselves.

We have fun acting like this, acting like we are incredibly offended. Really, we are just bored to tears with everything.

No matter where you go, you always see yourself in the rearview mirror.

Different isn't evil, it's just different.

I love you too much to say goodbye.

I like to sing along to Annie Lennox and pretend to be as sassy as her.

Beached under the spumy blooms, we lie Sea-sick and fever-dry.
