on work: “if somebody in this business thinks he’s the victim of the system…then he should be in another job. if the pressure is too big, do something else.”

on muses: “I hate that word…the word ‘muse’ is very limited…in fashion you have to dress everybody so you need all kinds of muses.”

“fashion freaks I’m not too crazy for.”

“I never talk about ‘the good old days’ because I’m not sure if they were ‘good’ just old.”

on chicness: “there are peasants in the country who are beyond chic in their poor rags, and there are rich women who are chic in an expensive dress.”

“a white shirt, jeans, and a jacket…three basic things, that’s what everyone needs. I’m not going to say a cocktail dress, there aren’t so many cocktails alive anymore.”

“everyday should be perfect it’s up to you to work on it and to make the day perfect…it’s a question of will and discipline.”
