I was surrounded by sisters. My childhood was all women.

The qualities I most admire in women are confidence and kindness.

Every season I am inspired by women.

Now is the most exciting time in fashion. Women are controlling their destiny now, the consumer is more knowledgeable, and I have to be better every single day.

We're dealing with sophisticated customers. What's most important to these women is individuality. I have to create things she'll want to wear, no matter who she is.

We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.
