For Me, Fashion Begins In New York.

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.

Just Wear What You Think Looks Beautiful.

I Don't Want The Collections To Look Like A Potpourri. It Has To Have A Cohesive Idea, And It Has To Be Glamorous And Beautiful And Fit Well.

I Was Schooled At Home, Then Didn't Go To University Because I Married When I Was 17. I Didn't Go Into Work Until Late In My Life.

The Little Black Dress Must Be Luxurious, Rich, Sensual, Diaphanous, Exotic, Severe, Lush, Demure, Demanding, Frivolous, Amusing, And It Must Linger In Memory, But Above All, It Must Be Simple And Little And Black.
