Travel Is The Ultimate Inspiration.

A Man In A Well Tailored Suit Will Always Shine Brighter Than A Guy In An Off-the-rack Suit.

American Women Often Fall Into The Trap Of, "oh, These Are My Weekend Clothes. These Are My Work Clothes. This Is What I Wear At Night." It's So Old-fashioned. The French Are Not Afraid Of Their Luxury. Americans Can Be So Puritanical And Think, "that's My Special-occasion Bag." Whereas, For A French Woman, It's Her Everyday Bag.

The Biggest Lesson That I've Learned Is That Fashion Is This Tightrope Where You Have To Be Consistent But Inconsistent. You Need The Connective Thread But At The Same Time You Need A Sense Of Surprise.

I Love Fashion Because It's Plugged Into The Zeitgeist, So It's Always Changing. Thirty Years Ago, I Could Never Have Predicted I'd Be Where I Am Today, So I Know I Don't Know What's Going To Happen In The Next Five Years Or The Next 20 Years. I Have My Predictions—i'm Sure Technology Will Continue To Have An Impact On Fashion, Particularly The Way People Shop. I Think Quality Will Be Increasingly Important—we're Moving Away From A Time Of Fast Fashion. But Really, The Only Constant In Fashion Is That You Must Keep Moving Forward, Otherwise You'll Be Left Behind.

I Know What Women Look Good In. I Don't Think The Rules Ever Change.
