Designs are a revelation to me. It's like taking something that is not alive and giving it form, shape, substance, and life.

The whole point of design is to make people feel better about themselves.

I tell women not to believe everything they read about fashion.

Fashion is in a terrible state. An overdose of too much flesh.

The greatest concubines in history knew that everything revealed with nothing concealed is a bore.

When I don't have any ideas, I pick up fabric and start working with it and something happens.

Clothes should look as if a woman was born into them. It is a form of possession, this belonging to one another.

Design is an unknown.

Fashion is treated too much as news rather than what it is, what it does and how it performs.

A woman should be less concerned about Paris and more concerned about whether the dress she's about to buy relates to the way she lives.

I come in. I'm going to sketch, I'm going to drape, I don't know what I'm going to do.

I suppose I look acceptable, the black (haired) sheep among the Barrett blondes.

Sometimes it seemed like the whole point of life was not to die the same death as your father.

I think every artist should follow their vision, their hearts is what they need to reveal, not something that society is looking out for.

Don't tell your friends about your indigestion. "How are you" is a greeting, not a question.

Our task is to look at the world, and see it whole.

Love's secret is always to be doing things for God, and not to mind because they are such very little ones.

Freedom of speech is a two way street, man. You have the right to say whatever you want and the Boss has a right to tell the police to arrest you.

Do not copy nature too much. Art is an abstraction.

Life isn't about what you have but what you have to give.

When I'm at my grandparents', I know I literally have to do nothing but relax, enjoy myself, and enjoy my family members' company.
