From the season I did the butterfly faux tattoos on the models on the runway, every collection we do has to have a butterfly t-shirt or trim or print. People come to me for butterflies!

Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection.

To me, fashion is like a mirror. It's a reflection of the times. And if it doesn't reflect the times, it's not fashion. Because people aren't gonna be wearing it.

What people look to me for is a whole look. People come to me for icing on the cake, not a basic stretch pant.

The sexiest thing about a bikini is that it leaves something to the imagination, which is the best part.

I think that fashion has become such a big business and with globalization we are on new territory at this point. We are not just designing for a country we are designing for a world now.

I think I'm a global citizen. My parents came from China, were educated in France and emigrated to the United States. And I think that opened up my mind to be able to live and work anywhere.

You have to focus on your dreams, even if they go beyond common sense.

I think you have to be in the right place at the right time. And understand that and know when it is your time and how you react to it and how you respond to it.

I’m always about optimism and exuberance. It’s what I feel about fashion.

To me if you're going have a show, it should be a show. It should be entertaining and take you on a journey.

Every person has two educations, one which he receives from others, and one, more important, which he gives to himself.

Surround yourself with things that inspire you every day. Let go of everything that drains your inspiration.

The mark of humanity is how it treats the world and those who share it with us...

Hispanics still have the highest rate amongst teens with babies so at least the future housekeeping is secure.

The grand instructor, time.

The artist Nature often achieves greatest effect when not working with a full palette.

When I first started out in politics I was, what you might describe as, a hard right Conservative.

That's kind of what we have here. I think we've just grown apart, we have different philosophies, and we're going in different directions.

You know I'm bad, I'm bad. You know it.

I drag my myth around with me.
