On vacation, you can wear all the colorful and casual clothing that you like, but you must always be elegant.

Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity. Outside this, believe me, there is no elegance. Only pretension.

Individuality will always be one of the conditions of real elegance

After women, flowers are the most lovely thing God has given the world.

Simplicity, good taste and grooming are the three fundamentals of good dressing and these do not cost money.

Deep in every heart slumbers a dream and the couturier knows it: every woman is a princess

A dress is a piece of ephemeral architecture, designed to enhance the proportions of the female body.

By being natural and sincere, one often can create revolutions without having sought them.

My dream? To make women happier and more beautiful.

Real woman should be capricious.

You are very harsh.''I have seen the world.

What if destiny doesn't care?

It's not your size. It's your inner strength.

We have to give our opinion, we have to say something, or we are a part of it. As an artist I am forced to say something.

It's a prizefight. Get off the stool, take your beating, go back to your corner, rest, and take a beating again. Believe in your own talent. Marry well.

People who say that small things don't bother them have never slept in a room with a mosquito.

I live in a small country in Europe - Finland - and I don't speak English well and I had nothing to do with publishing houses in the West. I lived in complete isolation.
