Sometimes the simplest things are the most profound.
Elegance isn't solely defined by what you wear. It's how you carry yourself, how you speak, what you read.
Fashion has always been a repetition of ideas, but what makes it new is the way you put it together.
I always remember my childhood house with happy memories. There was a beautiful garden, and outside my bedroom window was a jasmine vine which would open in the evenings, giving off a divine scent.
I prefer clothes that are simple, well-cut, but with one major extravagance. Something with the sleeves, with the skirt, but nothing too fussy, too flashy.
Intuition is a strong feminine quality.
Fashion is to please your eye. Shapes and proportions are for your intellect.

People get nervous accessorising, but there is nothing wrong with adding a belt or a pair of shoes in another colour.
Fashion is not an investment. If you wear a dress and don't get many compliments, you won't wear it again. It's not like buying bonds.
For me, fashion begins in New York.
There isn't a book that has changed me, but I have favourites such as 'Pride and Prejudice' which I often re-read.
When you do something that you like, and you think you can keep doing it, you don't think about retiring.
In general, fashion is challenging. Everything from clothes to fragrances.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of confusion today over what is sexy and what is vulgar. It's horrifying. They say, 'Oh, that girl is so sexy,' and she turns around and the dress is four sizes too small. Or she's wearing so much stuff, you wonder how lo...
