Elegance Does Not Catch The Eye. It

Elegance Is Not Standing Out, But Being Remembered.

From The Elitism Of Luxury To The Democracy Of Beauty.

Clean Lines Have Always Been Important To Me, Both In Terms Of Interiors As Well As Fashion. For Interiors, I Am More Interested In Textures And Surface Treatments Than Bold Color Or Print - The Vein On A Wood Or The Shine On A Lacquer, For Example. I Know Immediately When Something Isn't Working - Usually It's A Question Of Consistency - And I Make Instantaneous Decisions On How To Remedy The Situation.

My Philosophy Has Always Been To Help Women And Men Feel Comfortable And Confident Through The Clothes They Wear.

I Started To Take Care Of My Body After I Turned 50. I Never Liked How I Looked Physically Because I Was Too Cute, Short, With Coloring Only On My Cheeks, The Perfect Little Nose, And Then The Blue Eyes. But I Would Have Preferred To Have The Look Of A Tough Guy From The Wrong Side Of Town - One Of Those Fascinatingly Ugly Looks.
