Style Is Having The Courage Of One's

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.

It Is Difficult To Talk About Fashion In The Abstract, Without A Human Body Before My Eyes, Without Drawings, Without A Choice Of Fabric - Without A Practical Or Visual Reality.

In The Beginning, I Thought That Women Needed Protection, On A Style Level, To Have The Right Impact To Let Them Realize Their Desire For Success. Now, Many Years Later, Women No Longer Need A Masculine Uniform. Women Have Changed.

Retailing Has Become Fiercely Competitive. Today There Are Many Large Global Fashion Companies Who Have Opened Up Mono-brand Stores In Major Cities Around The World. When I First Opened My Boutique In New York, In 1985, There Were Almost No Other European Luxury Brands Present With Their Own Stores. Now Fifth Avenue Is Packed With Huge Stores From Major Italian And French Labels.

It Is Imperative To Create Luxury Products That Are Also Functional. My Vision For Fashion Precludes Frivolous, Fantasy-only Designs. That Said, Fashion Does Tend To Move More Quickly Than Interior Design. One Doesn't Change Their Couch Every Season As One Does Their Wardrobe.
