Fashion is not like the movie business, where you can have two great projects in a row and then say, You know what? I'm going to take off eight months. What am I going to tell people? Wear last year's clothes?

American women often fall into the trap of, Oh, these are my weekend clothes. These are my work clothes. This is what I wear at night. It's so old-fashioned. The French are not afraid of their luxury. Americans can be so puritanical and think, That's my special-occasion bag. Whereas, for a French woman, it's her everyday bag.

I think the trick is, how do you spend time doing it but make it look like you haven't spent time doing it? Over the years you look at women like Lauren Hutton and everyone says: 'She just pulled her hair back and ran out of the door.' I've been in fittings with Lauren and she definitely thinks about it. She just knows how to make it look easy.

I wasn't Barbie-obsessed. I think my mother might have been my Barbie.

Great style means having a point of view, but evolving your look is even more important. Rushing to embrace every trend will leave you fashionable, but not stylish

If you want to have longevity, then I think that you have to have a point of view, but at the same time still be elastic. Things evolve, the world changes, but people have to know you for who you are so they know what you stand for.

When I'm not working I'm a slug - a full slug. I am not good at the in-between. I'm either fever-pitched or want to just pass out on a beach with a really sleazy book and eat a cheeseburger.

It's funny when I hear people complain - particularly about the most fabulous parts of being a designer, like when you're getting ready to work on a show. I don't even know that I'm tired. I could stay up for six days straight! No drugs, no coffee, no nothing. I'm just so excited.

I grew up in a family of people who were obsessed with fashion.

No human being should wear tight satin.

I grew up surrounded by these tough, ballsy, strong women. They were also adoring women, but they were the kind of women who would argue over what kind of pants you were wearing or the color of your nail polish.

Americans are always a little bit insecure.

Fashion is like food! Some people like sushi, others think hamburgers are divine! People like different things!

Ultimately, clean lines have greater longevity, which women appreciate, and to which they can add their own personality

People shouldn't notice what you're wearing before they notice you. You want people to register you first. 'Oh, what a nice jacket' should be an afterthought if you're doing it right.

The minute it gets to a runway, you're tempted to do some high jinks. I don't want to show something I won't produce. I want people to wear the clothes I show.

Give me Caviar Kaspia and give me a hamburger. I love the two extremes.
Michael Kors
Image
You make sexiness strong by balancing it out: something familiar with something unfamiliar, something masculine with something feminine, something streamlined with something rococo. It's a Yin and Yang. Women are made of layers, your mood shifts, no one is neither one extreme nor the other.

People always think that designers hate each other. And we're certainly a competitive lot, but we also enjoy each other's company. No one else knows what you're going through other than another designer.
