fashion real sense-of-humor
Queen Elizabeth of England is the real fashion icon of the century. And she has a sense of humor.
long really-great
If you do something for so long, it's really great in your life, right?
eye reality clothes
Have I ever been horrified to see someone in my clothes? Many times, but I close my eyes and look the other way. That happens to everyone. What can you do? Go and tell her, 'Don't wear that dress again'? We designers always have fantasies in our heads, but the difficult task is to make them reality. Because you can be the best designer, but designing in your own place and with nobody wearing [your clothes], then what happens? You're nowhere.
wearing
When you're wearing something you feel comfortable in, you move better. That's why the most important accessory you can have is a full-length mirror.
strong style difficult
It is difficult to read the reviews when you start because you see something in your collection and the press sees something else. That is when you have to be very strong about your own style. They can say whatever they want, but I do what I do because I love it.
laughing never-forget very-good
If you date someone who isn't very good-looking but makes you laugh, you will never forget it.
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.
thinking important sense-of-humor
I think a sense of humor is the most important thing anyone can have.
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.
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.
fashion team
When you work in fashion, you need to work as a team. You cannot do anything on your own.
fashion fantasy madness
Fashion is magical, a fantasy. It's madness, and it doesn't last. It's changing all the time.
personality important
In anything you do, it's important to have your own personality there.
