I very seldom compromise. I am a Capricorn.
When you do something that you like, and you think you can keep doing it, you don't think about retiring.
You feel very romantic when you're in a ball gown. Everyone should wear one once in a while.
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.
One thing about my mother is that she has her taste: She knows what she likes and what looks good. It's not studied. There is no insecurity in what she is going to wear, and I think that translates into effortlessness. Her career has been a steady rise, and it hasn't been about the fashion of the moment. It's been because she has kept to her style. She didn't go grunge when it was grunge, or 70's when it was 70's. It's about being secure with what you like and not worrying about what's in fashion that particular day. That's what I admire about her.
Don't become a fashion victim is what I'm trying to say.
A man has to have sensibility, wit, mystery, tolerance, and strength... Romance also helps.
Life always has a bit of a challenge in front of you, and that's what makes you fight for it.
It's not all about beauty! It's also about a sense of humor.
I didn't long to be a designer. I always liked fashion, but it was always a bit sleeping in me.
I am very shy. When I go to a charity ball, I don't mind if people look at my sleeves. I mind terribly if I have to say something.
Don't wear excessive make-up as you grow older. Young women can wear whatever make-up they want, but if you are older, you will regret it.
I think a sense of humor is the most important thing anyone can have.
Fashion has to be worn; otherwise it doesn't exist.
I think it is good that fashion is a challenge because when something is a challenge, you want to do it better.
Can I tell you who is the most important fashion icon in the world? Queen Elizabeth of England. Think about that. She has never put her foot anywhere wrong and always looks fantastic.
You have to be a psychiatrist too, especially in fashion. A psychologist and a psychiatrist together.
Fashion is magical, a fantasy. It's madness, and it doesn't last. It's changing all the time.
Glamour is beyond beauty and beyond age. It's like sex appeal. You either have it or you don't, but I don't think it's the end of the world if you don't have it!
Luxury will be always around, no matter what happens in the world.
I was schooled at home, then didn't go to university because I married when I was 17. I didn't go into work until late in my life.
Fashion is not an investment. If you wear a dress and don't get many compliments, you won't wear it again. It's not like buying bonds.
You have to have talent to design and to dress thousands of women or millions of women around the world. And you know very well, the only thing they want is to look more beautiful.
In fashion, you have to have perseverance. You have to do it again and again, but it's something that comes out of my heart, and I love it.
I can get ready in 10 minutes.
