“I don’t care about fashion, I care about women.”

It’s like learning to fall properly. If you can manage not to tighten up you won’t hurt yourself as much. The same theory applies to your day, physically and emotionally. The tensions simply can’t take hold.

I am a traveler. I am a nomad. I rarely sleep in the same bed more than three or four nights. And I know hotel life better than anyone.

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.

My goal in life is to be your best friend when you open your closet.

Passion and persistence are what matter. Dreams are achievable and you can make your fantasy come true, but there are no shortcuts. Nothing happens without hard work.

It’s more important to be healthy and of good spirit than it is to be thin, just as it’s more important to be an attractive woman than a fashionable one.

When a woman becomes her own best friend life is easier.

Beauty is perfect in its imperfections, so you just have to go with the imperfections.

Italy will always have the best food.

If you’re a good person, the goodness will continue through your descendants.

If you like trekking, go to the Himalayas or Peru. I love those kinds of trips. But it all depends on your own life and what you like and what you expect.

You are the one that possesses the keys to your being. You carry the passport to your own happiness.

The biggest mistake a woman can make is not to be herself in public or private.

We need to encourage designers and agencies to be responsible. We need to make sure everyone is sensitive to the issues. But to calculate the girls’ body mass – I personally think it is demeaning.

My favorite days are the ones where I deal only with my own team, design, marketing, working on the next accessories collection.

Insecurity is a waste of time.
