I don’t like to talk about my dreams. I like to make them happen. I prefer to talk about them when they’re done.
All women are the same, really: They are strong, but they are afraid of their own strength.
All I can tell you is that I’ve never met a woman who is not strong, but sometimes they don’t let it out. Then there’s a tragedy, and then all of a sudden that strength comes. My message is let the strength come out before the tragedy.
I wanted to be an independent woman, a woman who could pay for her bills, a woman who could run her own life – and I became that woman.
I travel light. I think the most important thing is to be in a good mood and enjoy life, wherever you are.
I travel in so many different ways; I travel high, I rough it… it all depends on who I travel with.
I was lucky enough to have it all. To be successful in business, to have children, to raise them on my own, and to travel and live my life. It was a lot of work, but it’s a privilege to have been able to do it.
I had arranged a birthday party for him and my children, who are all Aquarians. Instead, we got married. I ran out of excuses. It was just us and my children.
The most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. And then after that, I’d say once you have that, it may be hard work, but you can actually design your life.
I never like to think that I design for a particular person. I design for the woman I wanted to be, the woman I used to be, and – to some degree – the woman I’m still a little piece of.
A challenging economy is always good for design. It unites necessity and functionality. You are forced to be creative with poor materials.
The way I design generally is very much travel-oriented because that is my life. That’s why I make clothes that are so light and so easy to pack and a little bit seasonless.
My favorite days are the ones where I deal only with my own team, design, marketing, working on the next accessories collection.
Usually, the fairy tale ends with the girl marrying the prince. But mine started as soon as the marriage was over.
Beauty is perfect in its imperfections, so you just have to go with the imperfections.
