We shouldn't be copying what we see. We should try to find our own sense of style, to believe in ourselves.
In fashion, only sexy won’t go out of fashion.
Wear a fabulous smile, great jewelry and know that you are totally and utterly in control.
Fashion is about dreaming and making other people dream.
It's very important for a brand to have an identity through the years, but it's very important as well to evolve because times change so fast.
Feminism is dead in the world. It comes from another time. I'm a feminist. I want to fight, but I don't see many people with this desire to fight for something. Women don't help each other, especially in fashion.
The suit does not represent the businessman anymore. Nor does the loud shirt represent the rock star. The same man can now wear both.
It's no good being too easily swayed by people's opinions. You have to believe in yourself.
I do think that exercise is important, not only to keep you in shape but also for your state of mind. However, I am not fanatical about it.
Fashion is a weapon that you can use when you need it.
Creativity comes from a conflict of ideas.
What is comfortable fashion? To be comfortable, that can't be in the vocabulary of fashion. If you want to be comfortable, stay home in your pajamas.
My style is not that big. I wear heels, tight pants, and I wear diamonds.
On a hanger, no dress is sexy. It's just fabric on a hanger.
