"Style is a deeply personal expression of who you are, and every time you dress, you are asserting a part of yourself."
"Style comes from knowing who you are and who you want to be in the world; it does not come from wanting to be somebody else, or wanting to be thinner, shorter, taller, prettier."

"Nothing is more alluring to a man than a woman who looks good in her jeans."
"I grew up with a fashion-obsessed mother and an older sister, so there was a lot of fashion in my house. The first thing I remember owning was a Pierre Cardin jumpsuit when I was 9 or 10; of course I didn't actually buy it, but I fell in love with it."
"It's empowering for women to have some tricks up their sleeve to help them look their best."
"I'm very classic and structural. I love clean lines and interesting, modern details. But I'm all about being streamlined - less is more."
"If you look back in history of the women who are most memorable and most stylish, they were never the followers of fashion. They were the ones who were unique in their style, breakers of the rules. They were authentic, genuine, original. They were not following the trends."
