Americans Are Always A Little Bit Insecure.

I Love Fashion Because It's Plugged Into The Zeitgeist, So It's Always Changing. Thirty Years Ago, I Could Never Have Predicted I'd Be Where I Am Today, So I Know I Don't Know What's Going To Happen In The Next Five Years Or The Next 20 Years. I Have My Predictions—i'm Sure Technology Will Continue To Have An Impact On Fashion, Particularly The Way People Shop. I Think Quality Will Be Increasingly Important—we're Moving Away From A Time Of Fast Fashion. But Really, The Only Constant In Fashion Is That You Must Keep Moving Forward, Otherwise You'll Be Left Behind.

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 To Be Empathetic Is The Greatest Gift You Can Have As A Designer. Hopefully, People Will Look At Me And Say, 'he Really Loved Women.'

Ultimately, Clean Lines Have Greater Longevity, Which Women Appreciate, And To Which They Can Add Their Own Personality

For Me, True Luxury Can Be Caviar Or A Day With No Meetings, No Appointments And No Schedule.
