Money doesn't buy elegance. You can take an inexpensive sheath, add a pretty scarf, gray shoes, and a wonderful bag, and it will always be elegant.

Elegance isn't solely defined by what you wear. It's how you carry yourself, how you speak, what you read.

Luxury will be always around, no matter what happens in the world.

Fashion has always been a repetition of ideas, but what makes it new is the way you put it together.

I love books; my suitcases are always full of them. Books and shoes. I read when I am sad, when I am happy, when I am nervous. My favourite British author is Jane Austen, and my favourite American one is John O'Hara.

Fashion never stops. There is always the new project, the new opportunity.
