I hate clothes that look saleable. I love when they look desirable.

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.

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

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.

The simplest things give me ideas.

I hadn't been in Vegas 20 minutes when I got word that the bookmakers were offering three to one that Frank wouldn't show for my wedding.

I have a curious and apprehensive feeling as I watch JFK that he is sort of an Indian snake charmer.

We all know that small cars are good for us. But so is cod liver oil. And jogging.

Ray Illingworth is relieving himself in front of the pavilion.

Every season I try to top myself, and push it a little further.

I have still the best comforts of life - books and friendships - and I trust never to lose my relish for either.

That is a secondary teacher conception - the writer as an observer.

The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you.

Nothing infuriates an academic more than a talented and successful colleague.
