I'm not a gambler.

I feel very strongly that clothes that fit well make a person feel better. It’s maybe half the value of the merchandise.

I think there is always a need for pure design. With pure design, you don’t need so much decoration.

One glass of water doesn’t equal another. One may just appease the thirst, the other you may enjoy thoroughly. In Japan, people know about this difference.

You don't have to pay more to have a great form.

I like femininity, not of the devout, but of the self-assured, cool and sophisticated kind.
