Most designers want to show apparel that makes the wearer look as long and lean as possible. And most people who buy clothes want to look as long and lean as possible.

I have my mantra about silhouette, proportion, and fit. I believe that when they are in harmony and balance, you’ll look great in anything.

If I had to choose a single destination where I'd be held captive for the rest of my time in New York, I’d choose the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

You can be too rich and too thin, but you can never be too well read or too curious about the world.

I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.

Life is not a solo act. It's a huge collaboration, and we all need to assemble around us the people who care about us and support us in times of strife.

If you have to ask if a clothing item is a dress or a top, it is always a top.

Take the high road. No matter how much strife, and consternation, frustration and anger you might be confronted with - don't go to that level.

Leggings are everywhere, indeed. Personally, I'm not crazy about them, but they can look great with the right look, a tunic, for instance, or a long cardigan. Just don't try to dress them up!

I want to say to anyone who works in a drone workplace, raise the bar! There's no reason why you have to dress to the lowest common denominator.

The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.

No one should be ashamed to admit that they do not know what they do not know, in case while feigning knowledge, they come to deserve to never know.

You cannot, ever, give up on a friend who is close to giving up on themselves

No one is free from something

Immerse yourself in the customer's world and get to know their struggles and triumphs inside out.

I get so nervous. I happen to be socially awkward and shy. I spent a lot of my time as an adult not going places.

Still though, I think if you're not self-obsessed, you're probably boring.

There is no failure except the failure of trying.

Be patient with yourself even when you make mistakes.

All of my knowledge, of both science and religion, I incorporate into the classical tradition of my painting.

Always the aim for me is making people feel like they are not alone. That's just the greatest feeling.
