A woman should be less concerned about Paris and more concerned about whether the dress she’s about to buy relates to the way she lives.

Clothes should be as interesting on the inside as on the outside. Even if you enjoy it totally alone, it’s important.

I come in. I’m going to sketch, I’m going to drape, I don’t know what I’m going to do.

When I don’t have any ideas, I pick up fabric and start working with it and something happens.

The whole point of design is to make people feel better about themselves.

Designs are a revelation to me. It's like taking something that is not alive and giving it form, shape, substance, and life.

Design is an unknown.

The unimaginable always becomes the unforgettable.

I hate clothes that look saleable. I love when they look desirable.

I gave up medicine. So I'll give up fashion. . . I could be a colorist of spaceships.
