Retailing Has Become Fiercely Competitive. Today There

I Am Impressed With America's Capacity For Change, And Their Ability To Bring Someone As Inspirational As Barack Obama Into The White House.

I Wanted To Dress The Woman Who Lives And Works, Not The Woman In A Painting.

I've Used A Lot Of Jersey, But I've Also Done A Lot Of Complex Pattern Weaves In These Fabrics In Solid Colors, And There Are Lots Of Little Dresses For Cocktail And Evening. I've Done A Series Of Very Important Evening Dresses As Well, Just To Show That These Two Ideas Can Also Work Well Together. Today's Woman Can Wear An Important Evening Dress Or A Simple Pant And Top. It's All In The Personality Of The Woman.

Jeans Represent Democracy In Fashion.

I Design For Real People. I Think Of Our Customers All The Time. There Is No Virtue Whatsoever In Creating Clothing Or Accessories That Are Not Practical.
