There is always an emotional element to anything that you make.

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.

I was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that we were successful.

If you deceive someone, you lose one of life's greatest treasures, you lose the capacity to trust. Because without trust, love is not possible.

I think I'm a girly beer drinker - I like the fruity ones. And the radler has lower alcohol.

Sometimes I feel like the Tom Hanks character in Big. But my life is not a movie. I never have to go back to Coney Island to find the fortune-teller machine so I have to grow up again.
