memories simple sensual
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.
garden years cities
The first painting that I realised I liked was 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' by Hieronymus Bosch, when I was six years old, at the Prado in Madrid. I still find myself returning there every time I'm in the city.
daughter mother husband
Feeling good about yourself and your life is very important. I'm a happy woman, happy with my husband, my daughters, my grandchildren. We all get along quite well, and that keeps me centered.
fashion past thinking
I want women to really look like women from today. It's not from the past and not from the future, because I don't know what happens in the future. It is the woman of today (who) I think is a seductive woman.
fashion fun people
Some people take fashion very seriously....but that’s not right... Fashion should be fun!
different elegance
The word "elegance" is a bit different now.
believe people i-believe
I believe that you have to treat the people who work with you like your family.
fashion eye shapes
Fashion is to please your eye. Shapes and proportions are for your intellect.
personality style dresses
A wedding dress is both an intimate and personal for a woman - it must reflect the personality and style of the bride.
admire
You need somebody you respect and admire to back you always.
girl sexy confusion
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 long it took her to get ready.
thinking color black
I don't think women need another black bag. Everybody has a black bag already, so I thought this season (needs) color.
beautiful responsibility today
I have a responsibility to the woman of today - to make her feel confident, modern and above all else beautiful.
mistake trying succeed
Mistakes in life teach you how to succeed because you want to try again and do it better.
