Be the Woman You Want to Be....
inspiring mother strong
I'm not the only one; most people's mothers are the most influential person in their life. But my mother survived the camps, and she was very strong. She made me strong, but she wanted me to be strong. That's more important.
love inspiring beautiful
The girls who were unanimously considered beautiful often rested on their beauty alone. I felt I had to do things, to be intelligent and develop a personality in order to be seen as attractive. By the time I realized maybe I wasn't plain and might even possibly be pretty, I had already trained myself to be a little more interesting and informed.
inspiring strong-women keys
You are the one that possesses the keys to your being. You carry the passport to your own happiness.
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.
against healthy image industry putting represent responsibility wall women
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.
aspects behave freedom however worked
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.
afford bit
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.
good showing
I had good legs, and I loved showing them off.
