The best design teams are not people who are exactly the same...otherwise you're just sitting and telling, 'You're fabulous.' 'No, you're fabulous.'
You make sexiness strong by balancing it out: something familiar with something unfamiliar, something masculine with something feminine, something streamlined with something rococo. It's a Yin and Yang. Women are made of layers, your mood shifts, no one is neither one extreme nor the other.
The perfect accessory can make the difference between looking blah and totally to die for
I know what women look good in. I don't think the rules ever change.
I've always thought of accessories as the exclamation point of a woman's outfit.
The greenest thing you could do in fashion, is to buy something great that you’re going to use for years
Fashion is like food! Some people like sushi, others think hamburgers are divine! People like different things!
Lots of shine for evening, ... lots of ornamentation (with) a lot of Art Deco-sort-of-feeling to it because, again, I think this collection really is New York. So, automatically to me, it's the Chrysler Building.
When I was a kid, I was trendier. I'd wear anything. I was in love beads and platforms.
My mom was a model. She had me at 20, so she was a young mother.
Because of what's going on with the economy, I think women are realizing that maybe they don't need a closet full of clothes. They just need the right clothes.
American women often fall into the trap of, "Oh, these are my weekend clothes. These are my work clothes. This is what I wear at night." It's so old-fashioned. The French are not afraid of their luxury. Americans can be so puritanical and think, "That's my special-occasion bag." Whereas, for a French woman, it's her everyday bag.
