I start each collection thinking how I can refresh my classics.

I would like to say to people, open your eyes and find beauty where you normally don't expect it.

Elegance is a question of personality, more than one's clothing.

What is masculine and what is feminine, anyway? Why should men not show that they can be fragile or seductive? I am only happy when there is no discrimination.

Fashion is about what you look like, which translates to what you would like to be like.

It's always the badly dressed people who are the most interesting.

It is beautiful to be what you are.

There are many kinds of beauty, and you can find it where you least expect.

I don't like dreams or reality. I like when dreams become reality because that is my life.

Designers are to be in connection with what's happening with the movement of society.

Human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights. Let us not forget that among those rights are the right to speak freely — and the right to be heard.

Leadership without a following is null and at best loitering

In the mean time I worship God, laying every wrong action under an interdict which I endeavour to respect, and I loathe the wicked without doing them any injury.

Of course, we are all egoists. Egoism is so much a part of our humanity.

You cannot kill an idea by murdering innocent people — though you can nudge it toward suicide.

Love is the only flower that grows and blossoms without the aid of the seasons

I think that by and large chess players have been very kind. Like I said there have been a few incidents, but they certainly didn't serve to bring me down any.

I still gasp at the revealing lingo for weapons: erector launchers, thrust ratios; my teeth grind reflexively when Dubya sputters Eye-Rack and Eye-Ran have 'nookyular capabacity.

A book exists at the intersection of the author's subconscious and the reader's response.
