“I want to make clothes that people will wear, not styles that will make a big splash on the runway.”

“I have this complex that if I walk into a place wearing a colorful shirt someone will stop me and say, 'I'm sorry, but the Latin band comes through the other door.'”

“If you want to establish an international presence you can't do so from New York. You need the consecration of Paris.”

“Every season I am inspired by women.”
