I think that a woman that is elegant herself is somebody who can dress herself easily and effortlessly.

I think fashion can always date, but I think if a woman has elegance, she doesn't date.

Lingerie is my next love after clothing; I think it is what is worn underneath that really inspires a woman to feel beautiful in her clothes - that inner, secret glamour.

As far as accessories are concerned, I think it is always best to be as minimalist as possible.

Remember, its all about you and the dress. Nothing more, so keep the accessories very discreet.

When it comes to shoes, I always think Charlotte Olympia, of course! Her footwear is always feminine and sexy and also just right for every occasion.
