Nothing says spring like hand-cut flowers.
If you wear a different perfume every day, I do not recognize you.
Nothing is contrived. At night, the clothes should pour like liquid over the body.
My entire concept of lifestyle is built on the foundation of my homes. There is no more important expression of this concept than that of my own personal living space.
I want to make clothes that people will wear, not styles that will make a big splash on the runway.
Now is the most exciting time in fashion. Women are controlling their destiny now, the consumer is more knowledgeable, and I have to be better every single day.
I am not interested in shock tactics. I just want to make beautiful clothes.
I always tell this story: When I started, the woman went to the store to buy a dress. She saw it in pink and red, and then she remembered that the husband, who is probably going to pay for the dress, loves it in pink. So she buys the pink. Today, the same woman goes to the store and remembers the husband likes pink, and she buys the red.
In fashion, the most important thing is to move on.
Work hard. Believe in yourself. It's not the publicity that sells the clothes, it's the woman.
One should travel as light as possible. I can organize myself to go on a ten-day trip with just hand luggage.
Although I have no plans to tweet, I am fascinated by developments on the Internet.
I have always felt my role as a designer is to do the very best I can for a woman to make her look her best. Fashion is only fashion once a woman puts it on.
Any girl from any walk of life dreams of that special dress, and I try to make that dream a reality for her.
I'm a very restless person. I'm always doing something. The creative process never stops.
Gardening is how I relax. It's another form of creating and playing with colors.
When I was a boy, I thought scent was contained in dewdrops on flowers and if I got up very early in the morning, I could collect it and make perfume.
I do not have one theme for each season, I just try to make beautiful clothes all year round.
I would like better to be known as the Godfather of Fashion, with all the implications that that word has.
My job as a designer is to make a woman feel her very best.
The charities closest to my heart have always involved helping children in some way.
What women have achieved in the last 50 years, I wish men would have achieved in the last 100.
I don't really know how to do casual clothes.
I was surrounded by sisters. My childhood was all women.
A woman can wear anything- she can make it right.
