In the future, I'd like to make jewelry and sell it under my own name. But right now, I've got enough on my plate!
-
I'm not an easy customer. My attention to detail could probably drive you mad. My eye still always goes toward the single flaw.
-
You don't need to wear Spanx if you buy my clothes. The dress, the trousers, the pencil skirt - they should do the work.
-
I love a real-life, movie moment in living color.
-
Sometimes I like to watch TV, though I never get to watch any of the shows in real time. I'm a fan of 'Downton Abbey,' 'Boardwalk Empire,' and 'Boss.' There's a British series called 'Luther,' but in England, they think a series means four episodes. And I like 'Mad Men.' Otherwise, it's always good to unwind with a book.

It was always sort of my dream to make handbags and I wanted a handbag that was very sharp, very structured, very tailored... I wanted a bag you could put all of your things in it, you can open it, you could close it, you could hid all your tricks, but it's not all lumpy.
-
I've worked with lots of musicians - like Tina Turner - and I love when they go in front of the fitting mirror and do their thing, pose, dance. I love that moment!
-
Weirdly, my nickname was Lady. I didn't get Stretch, or Stilts, or Spider Legs - I got Lady. I guess I was always a bit ladylike.

You can celebrate the female form in comfort. We left corsets behind in the dark ages, so why bring them back now?
-
I always have to have my lipstick. Sometimes I have more than one shade: start with one color for the morning, one for night. Sometimes I have a couple shades just in case I need something more powerful for the day.
-
I dress for men.
-
I'm a fashion designer. I don't want to be defined as someone's girlfriend.
-
It's so important your customer can rely on you for your classics.
-
When I designed my first house in L.A., I didn't have any money - I did it all on my own. I liked that.
-
I exercise five days a week at home.
-
I love an iPad game of Scrabble.
-
I was so tall and so skinny - I was that kid who couldn't find anything to wear. All the cool kids would have jeans the right length and I would just think, 'What am I going to do?'
-
After working with clothes for so long, it seemed right to design them.
-
The modern woman has a modern life, and most of us work. There's no time to change before we go out in the evening, so a dress should always look appropriate for day and night.
-
Peruvian food is so simple yet amazingly flavored with their traditional spices.
-
My entertainment was going to the local dollar movie theatre on the weekend, where I watched old black and white movies. If you wanted current movies, you had to drive to the big city.
-
Luxury is a state of mind.
-
I'm always working. I work wherever I am.
-
If you don't feel good in it, don't wear it. Because it'll never look good. Any hesitation in the fitting room and just walk away.
