..It's not about age...I believe women of all ages can wear anything.
Personal style is about a sense of yourself, a sense of what you believe in and wearing what you like.
I have a vision for living. It's about elements of style. It's about all the things that I love, that I believe in.
There is a way of living that has a certain grace and beauty. It is not a constant race for what is next, rather, an appreciation of that which has come before. There is a depth and quality of experience that is lived and felt, a recognition of what is truly meaningful. These are the feelings I would like my work to inspire. This is the quality of life that I believe in.
Success isn't based on 'look what I can do!' but more on an inner sense of self and believing you have something to say in your own consistent way. And I think we all have to fight to maintain our unique style and taste in a world that would have us conform.
When you think of the blur of all the brands that are out there, the ones you believe in and the ones you remember, like Chanel and Armani, are the ones that stand for something. Fashion is about establishing an image that consumers can adapt to their own individuality. And it's an image that can change, that can evolve. It doesn't reinvent itself every two years.
It's the kind of clothes that mothers and daughters can wear, in terms of concept... It's not about age. It's about taste, and it's about lifestyle. I believe women of all ages can wear anything.
I believe in style, not fashion.
I believe one can live many lives through personal style. Every day is an occasion to reinvent yourself
Fashion is transient, trends come and go. I believe in style, not fashion.
It's sport utility done in a dressed-up way,
I wanted to show the dimension and the international image of my work.
I started in the men's business, so I always sort of have a touch of menswear in terms of where I'm going, ... And I think one of the sexiest looks for women, instead of wearing a low cut thing, sometimes a man's suit is more.
The fabrics, whether it be hand-painted prints at the end, or whether it be new knits and stretch fabrics ... sort of make the whole world.
