Women are more sure of themselves today. They don't have to emulate the way men dress.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't look so closely at women's fashion, but from the 20th century on, people have had the freedom to express themselves and their individualities, and fashion is one of the most fundamental ways in which they do this, men and women are equally able to express themselves.
Women are more fashion conscious and are paying a lot of attention to what's happening globally.
When the women's movement started in the 1960s, there was a vision of a future where women didn't wear makeup or worry about how their hair looked, and everybody wore sensible, comfortable clothes. It ran into an absolute brick wall.
When I first started designing, all women were dressed like men, and I said, 'Hey, guys, let's be women, put the two together - it's not either/or. Let's celebrate our bodies. Our bodies are different.'
Sometimes I think fashion is more of a conversation between men than it is for women.

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.
They know they're going to look beautiful, and I don't think women should look like costumes. They shouldn't look like fashion victims.
Because of what's going on with the economy, I think women are realizing that maybe they don't need a closet full of clothes. They just need the right clothes.
Women should have choices, and women should feel good in what they wear.
