A woman's dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.

I want to see women in pantsuits or two pieces, even something a little bit gaudy. It's so much more exciting than just another nice dress.

With glitzy add-ons, the bright, girly dress you bought for daywear becomes fancy enough for evening.

There's almost a T-shirt feeling to wearing my evening dresses.

I don't like it, but this afternoon I've told myself I am going to go and get a dress.

I like to undress women - not to dress them. You know, like Manet's 'Olympia' or Helmut Newton's photographs - naked women with shoes. This is what I am trying to do.

A statement necklace glams up any outfit without feeling like too much.

From shoes that are a size too small to a dress that doesn't fit quite right, there are incredible pieces in most wardrobes that have never been worn.

If I see something that inspires me, I'll dress like it.

My favourite outfit was this black lace dress that I found in a vintage shop in Williamsburg, New York.
