During a motivational speech about self-love and happiness.
There's design, and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature - if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty - but mostly suffering!
The little black dress is the true friend...she travels with you...is patient and constant...you go to her when you don't know where else to go and she is ALWAYS reliable and timeless.
One of the most important things about fashion is to dress as well as you can, look as attractive as you can, and at the same time be comfortable with yourself. Be easy about your clothes; forget about them.
All women are strong. My mother survived Auschwitz, and fear wasn't an option when we were growing up. If we were afraid of the dark, we were put into the closet until we weren't.

Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.
Iβll read my books and Iβll drink coffee and Iβll listen to music, and Iβll bolt the door.
But I don't think of the future, or the past, I feast on the moment. This is the secret of happiness, but only reached now in middle age.
