dream hard-work passion
Passion and persistence are what matter. Dreams are achievable and you can make your fantasy come true, but there are no shortcuts. Nothing happens without hard work.

I was 26 when I invented the wrap dress. It was just a nothing little printed dress made out an jersey, and before I know it, I lived an American Dream making more than 25,000 dresses a week.
dream believe important
The important thing is to believe in what you do. Have a big dream and take small steps.
dream done happens
I don't like to talk about my dreams. I like to make them happen. I prefer to talk about them when they're done.
dream regret enjoy
You only regret what you don't do! Go for it, live your dreams and enjoy it all!
I never knew what I wanted to do, but I knew the kind of woman I wanted to be.
design hard life relationship work
The most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. And then after that, I'd say once you have that, it may be hard work, but you can actually design your life.

The fashion industry has a responsibility to represent a healthy image of women, but to start weighing them and putting them against a wall and making them feel like animals? No.

I used the aspects of being a woman to my advantage, but I worked for myself, not a big corporation, so I was lucky to have the freedom to behave however I liked.
designed women
I have always been attracted to clothes designed by women. Coco Chanel, Vionnet, Norma Kamali, Donna Karan. They have a little more - how do I put it? - understanding.
The Chinese consumer is everybody. It's very simple.

I was lucky because I got so successful so early, and when you get successful early, then you can afford to be a little bit humble.
interested stories women
Women inspire me... so I enjoy women's stories and biographies. I am interested in all women.
Everyone knows I married a prince, and then I married a billionaire.
