stars white mirrors
I always wear beige, black or white. For one thing I look good in them. For another, when I'm beside a star at a fitting, and she looks into the mirror, I don't want to be competing in any way.
stars animal grace
I've dressed thousands of actors, actresses and animals, but whenever I am asked which star is my personal favorite, I answer, 'Grace Kelly.' She is a charming lady, a most gifted actress and, to me, a valued friend.

Many faux pas of fashion can be avoided if you curb your instinctive desire to buy things with your heart instead of your head.
clothes actors motto
My motto is that the audience should notice the actors, not the clothes.
