Music is such an important element in creating the drama that a runway show needs in order to be memorable and to make the clothes come to life.

It's too hot for me to bother with wearing my hair down in the summer. I'd rather pin it up in braids, or throw it in a top knot so I don't have to think about it the rest of the day.

I love the idea of a woman's suit, but I wanted something that was a little easier to wear.

Spontaneity and instincts are key factors to a memorable party.

The best part about DJing a fashion show after-party or event is being able to correlate the emotions of the collection with music, just as you would for a show.

You walk a fine line when you have a performance at a show just as you do with having celebrities attend a show - you never want the attention to be drawn too far away from the clothing.

I've always been a huge fan of matching sets and vibrant prints.

Ernest Hemingway called Jospehine the "most sensational woman anyone ever saw." I think all women deserve to be this sensational looking!

Designing the prints was very much like writing a story with characters, [inspired by] some of my my favorite icons of the time: Eva Perón and Josephine Baker.

Of course, fresh flowers are the answer to any June gloom you may be feeling. Flowers really do solve all problems.

I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions.

There is no religion that has a monopoly on bigotry.

In just about every area of society, there's nothing more important than ethics.

I would rather have your friendship than the love of any other woman in the world.

There's not ever much of anything going on in my head.

I think there are parts of myself in every character I play.

If I already have a vision, my work is almost done. The rest is a technical problem.

An unimaginative person can neither be reverent nor kind.

I deny the lawfulness of telling a lie to a sick man for fear of alarming him; you have no business with consequences, you are to tell the truth.

Read only the most optimistic comments on the world's news; those in harmony with your picture.
