I love a black wedding dress.

Even the most understated ceremony involves a certain respect for ritual and pageantry. No one plays more of a significant role than the bride's attendants.

Service is a prerequisite for anything relating to luxury. That makes it (shopping) sensual and pleasurable.

I was the girl who nobody thought would ever get married. I was going to be a fashion nun the rest of my life. There are generations of them, those fashion nuns, living, eating, breathing clothes.

The key is falling in love with something, anything. If your heart's attached to it, then your mind will be attached to it.

I was trying to manage school and training for the Olympics and ended up not doing well at either. That was a big lesson in my life. My mother expected both.
