The World Is Changing And So Is

I Sensed That Women Wanted To Be A Little Different. My Fluidity Gave Them A Way Of Interpreting Their Bodies In A More Personal, Individual Way.

Jeans Represent Democracy In Fashion.

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.

The Secret Is To Remain True To Your Aesthetic Vision, So That People Can See That You Really Believe Passionately In What You Are Doing. That Way, They Can Relate To Your Style. At The Same Time, You Experiment-you Try New Things.

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