I love things that age well – things that don’t date, that stand the test of time and that become living examples of the absolute best.
Elegance is not catching somebody’s eyes, it’s staying in somebody’s memory.
Elegance doesn’t mean being noticed, it means being remembered.
A perfume is more than an extract it is a presence in abstraction. A perfume, for me, is a mystique.
The difference between style and fashion is quality.
Individual style is the correct balance of knowing who you are, what works fro you, and how to develop your own personality.
Acknowledge the elegance of simplicity.
The essence of style is a simple way of saying something complex.
A woman should always dress to be remembered, not simply to be noticed.
Remain true to yourself and your philosophy. Changing in the face of adversity will in fact diminish your credibility with your customers.
If people want to change, they will. If they don’t want to, it’s hard to make them do so. The current interest in the environment is a good thing. The best way to make a contribution in fashion is to promote the idea that a fundamental interest in preserving the environment is itself fashionable.
It would be very hard for me to do things somebody else’s way.
I don’t like women who follow fashion in the sense of becoming victims of it. I like women who have elegance, who have allure, who use fashion, rather than the other way around.
I believe that my clothes can give people a better image of themselves – that it can increase their feelings of confidence and happiness.
The world is changing and so is fashion.
I like to think that I can introduce people to the idea of simplicity and elegance.
Style is having the courage of one’s choices and the courage to say no. It’s good taste and culture.
The secret is to remain true to your aesthetic vision, so that people can see that you really believe passionately in what you are doing. That way, they can relate to your style. At the same time, you experiment-you try new things.
I think that everyone has the right to fall in love at any age. But in life you have to learn how to control your emotions. You must know self-discipline.
Emphasize comfort without compromise.
