Eliminate The Superfluous.

Elegance Is Not About Being Noticed, Its About Being Remembered.

Retailing Has Become Fiercely Competitive. Today There Are Many Large Global Fashion Companies Who Have Opened Up Mono-brand Stores In Major Cities Around The World. When I First Opened My Boutique In New York, In 1985, There Were Almost No Other European Luxury Brands Present With Their Own Stores. Now Fifth Avenue Is Packed With Huge Stores From Major Italian And French Labels.

Never In My Wildest Dreams Did I Entertain The Idea That I Would Become A Fashion Designer.

Remain True To Yourself And Your Philosophy.

Acknowledge The Elegance Of Simplicity.
