Success needs to be measured according to the ambitions and the resources of each designer. And many aren't interested in being a megabrand.

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.

It is rooted deep in your bones

I mean, I'll say the filthiest things in the world, but when it comes down to it, I'm kind of a prude.

Someone is going to make your product obsolete. Make sure it's you.

I went from being totally unknown to getting stopped every time I went out. I always wanted to be successful, but I have never wanted to become a celebrity. I never, ever, craved that.

Serena Williams best female player ever - no question.

People know me. I'm not going to produce any cartwheels out there. I'm not going to belong on Comedy Central. I'll always be a tennis player, not a celebrity.

Anybody with a good sense of humor is one-up on their competition. We respond to somebody who has the ability to make us laugh. It's a bonding influence.

I try not to take on the weight or the burden of it. Once it's on the paper, I try to leave it, because I want to surrender to what I'm supposed to write about.

Dressing is a way of life.
