flannel gray heaven lots love materials translated wonderful
Lots of suits, lots of trousers, which I'm in heaven (about) because I love them. (They're) all made in men's materials like glen plaids and gray flannel and all in houndstooth. All those men's materials translated for a very feminine, wonderful woman.
worry fit fashionable
Even if it doesn't fit the woman, like, let's say a very short skirt, and the woman doesn't have the legs or the height to wear the skirt, but she has to wear it because it's fashionable. Don't do it! If it doesn't look good on you, don't worry about it.
fighting challenges
Life always has a bit of a challenge in front of you, and that's what makes you fight for it.
thinking elegance
I think elegance is always going to be there.
I don't like to follow too many trends because trends tend to make women look like they are wearing uniforms.
admire
You need somebody you respect and admire to back you always.
end-of-the-world world very-good
Something you wore three months ago, maybe you don't wear it again. I am a great believer that if something looks very good on you, you can wear it again, and it's not the end of the world.
fashion fantasy madness
Fashion is magical, a fantasy. It's madness, and it doesn't last. It's changing all the time.

When you work in fashion, you need to work as a team. You cannot do anything on your own.

Mistakes in life teach you how to succeed because you want to try again and do it better.

Keep in shape: if you look good, you will feel confident.
age glamour
Glamour is beyond beauty and beyond age. It's like sex appeal.
men forget femininity
You cannot forget about your femininity. You don't have to compete with men in that respect.
sense-of-humor
It's not all about beauty! It's also about a sense of humor.
