If you want to play it safe, mix a lot of colors in the same tone and that is such an easy way to feel modern and feel a little confident.
There's nothing wrong with looking like a woman and going in the workplace and doing everything a man can do but looking 1,000 percent like a lady.
When I talk to young girls about clothes, I tell them to show a lot of brains.
If I see a fashion show with literal influences, it doesn't make me think any more. It doesn't make me dream.
I'm usually very attracted to things that I can't define. If something's too clear, it's very often not inspiring to me anymore.

Fashion is such an octopus. You're connected to so many people: suppliers, pattern makers, production teams, marketing teams, vendors.
The fashion world doesn't know the word 'stop,' so you have to make sure there are sublime moments every day.
We've had Audrey Hepburn, we've had Twiggy, we've had Veruschka, we've had Kate Moss. I'm trying to figure out why I am to blame for skinniness.

Because my business life is so busy, my home is really my sanctuary. That is where I reflect and spend quality time with my girls.
Designing is so easy - it's the business that is hard. That's why you really have to respect Ralph Lauren - look at what he's done. Anybody who can sustain themselves should be applauded.
I am especially grateful that I have been able to keep my own style over the decades, in spite of the many changes that have taken place in the world of fashion and in its business.
