Michael Kors

A man in a well tailored suit will always shine brighter than a guy in an off-the-rack suit.

For me, true luxury can be caviar or a day with no meetings, no appointments and no schedule.

I grew up in a family of people who were obsessed with fashion.

I know what women look good in. I don't think the rules ever change.

The biggest lesson that I've learned is that fashion is this tightrope where you have to be consistent but inconsistent. You need the connective thread but at the same time you need a sense of surprise.

I think the older I get, the more I realize that the ultimate luxury is time.

My legacy would be that you don't have to give up anything. You can be chic but have a sense of humor, you can be sexy but comfortable, you can be timeless but fresh.

American women often fall into the trap of, 'Oh, these are my weekend clothes. These are my work clothes. This is what I wear at night.' It's so old-fashioned.

When you try on something, you have to ask yourself, 'How many ways could I wear this? Could I wear it to work? To dinner or drinks? Will it span the seasons' If you have to think too hard about those questions, then skip it.

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.
