Quote

My father was an artist. When life was harder and he couldn't get jobs, he painted houses, but he was artistic. When I went to see his work, it was special. Somewhere along the line, I felt I was special. I didn't know why.

I have always loved things that are timeless and get better with age.

For me accessories create and define a woman's personal style. The bag she carries, the watch on her wrist, her jewelry, her sunglasses, her shoes all define a look that is her signature. For Spring 2014, my accessory collections are about a clean, graphic boldness creating a new dimension redefining modern classics.

I don't like it when a woman looks like a fashion victim.

We all get report cards in many different ways, but the real excitement of what you're doing is in the doing of it. It's not what you're gonna get in the end - it's not the final curtain - it's really in the doing it, and loving what you're doing.

Glamour is an attitude-it's the expression of a certain kind of confidence. A glamorous woman is always elegant, but she also possesses an air of mystery and excitement. She's dramatic-almost untouchable.

For me, style is about quality, integrity and timelessness. It is free of trends but always feels fresh and new.

I don't like it when a woman looks like a fashion victim. Some women think that if the look this season is minis, they have to wear minis. If you don't have great legs, there are plenty of alternatives.

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.

My life has been a dream. If someone had to write a story about it, it would seem a little unreal. It's the kind of story I would read and say, 'Nah, that's not possible.'

Every time I design clothes, I'm making a movie.

I'm a fan of people that have quality, that do what they do and that are not into the showbiz.

My wife Ricky is my muse. Her personal style and natural beauty have always been my inspiration.

I have always been drawn to the beauty of things designed to function. Mixing technical pieces with more traditional prints and patterns creates not only a quality experience, but a look that is unique, and for me, very exciting.

I don't design clothes, I design dreams.

You have to create something from nothing.

Having success at an early age gave me more of a sense of what's important in life rather than always driving to make it.

I exercise at the gym with a trainer. I feel it's very healthy, very important - important for everybody. I feel it's good for you. It makes you feel better. It loosens you up a little bit.

I can drive a certain car one day with great pleasure, and the next day I'll be disappointed that the experience isn't as good as the day before. These cars have moods that change with the weather, or with the driver's own moods.

I'm interested in longevity, timelessness, style - not fashion.

I have had a lot of good things happen, but I've also had a lot of terrible things happen.
