fashion thinking important
Can I tell you who is the most important fashion icon in the world? Queen Elizabeth of England. Think about that. She has never put her foot anywhere wrong and always looks fantastic.
inspiration book painting
I don't get my inspiration from books or a painting. I get it from the women I meet.
beautiful fashion style
Always choose style over fashion: wear something that makes you look beautiful.
fashion ideas together
Fashion has always been a repetition of ideas, but what makes it new is the way you put it together.
sense-of-humor
It's not all about beauty! It's also about a sense of humor.
inspirational elegance do-you-know
Do you know what elegance is? It is not only what you're wearing. It is how you wear it. who you are inside.
nobody-knows
Any business is the same in the beginning because nobody knows where it's going to ride.
speak elegance defined
Elegance isn't solely defined by what you wear. It's how you carry yourself, how you speak, what you read.
wearing
When you're wearing something you feel comfortable in, you move better. That's why the most important accessory you can have is a full-length mirror.
major prefer
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.
manage men time women
We women manage to do many things at the same time. Men, no. Men do one thing at a time.
careful carpet
The red carpet is very important. You have to be very careful to have the right person dressed in right way. For me, it has to be a perfect look.
You never expect anything when you are 20 because you think that you'll never get older.
Sometimes the simplest things are the most profound.
