A challenging economy is always good for design. It unites necessity and functionality. You are forced to be creative with poor materials.
The secret to feeling attractive, and to being attractive, is the confidence that comes from knowing who you are and what you believe in.
If there is one rule for dressing, for fashion, it’s pretty much the same rule as for everything else in life: Don’t go against yourself, don’t go against your own nature. It’s only going to show.
One of the most important things about fashion is to dress as well as you can, look as attractive as you can, and at the same time be comfortable with yourself. Be easy about your clothes; forget about them.
Eighteen months before I was born, my mother was in Auschwitz. She weighed 49 pounds. She always told me that God saved her so she could give me life. I was born out of nothing.
I am a fast dresser, 30 minutes max with hair and makeup. I don’t have a uniform, but I like to be comfortable.
Ireland is also quite nice. So is Amsterdam.
My biggest vice is playing solitaire on my iPad. It’s bad. I mean, it’s ridiculous.
All women are strong. My mother survived Auschwitz, and fear wasn’t an option when we were growing up. If we were afraid of the dark, we were put into the closet until we weren’t.
My son loves the Hotel du Cap, in the south of France.
Simplicity and sexiness, that’s what people want. At a price that’s not outrageous.
I don’t care about fashion, I care about women.
Usually, the fairy tale ends with the girl marrying the prince. But mine started as soon as the marriage was over.
If you’re a good person, the goodness will continue through your descendants.
What’s important to me is to share, and being inspired, and inspiring.
It’s the woman you should remember, not the dress, ever.
Generosity is the best investment.
When I was young, I lived like an old woman, and when I got old, I had to live like a young person.
Go to a place where you’re not going to be stressed, because a honeymoon itself can be a stressful thing.
I have always been a nomad and I have mastered the art of packing! I always say: pack lightly, live lightly.
There is nothing more thrilling than arriving in a new place on your own and feeling the sense of possibility and excitement that brings with it.
