As with most things in my life, I believe you should try to enjoy yourself and never feel like you are a slave to a routine.

In order to be responsible, you need some discipline in your life.

Plus-sized women shouldn't think of themselves as a size. They should think of themselves as women with rich goals in life. Size doesn't mean, really, anything. You can carry your size with pride and dress in a way that you like.

In order to be responsible, you need some discipline in your life. For a while I lost mine.

Die and born again, die and born again. It's the story of my life.

In my life I had no other choice than to become a strong person.

It would be very easy for us to do a collection that everybody would like and not criticize. But criticism is a part of life. You have to take it.

I have worked with wool all my life as a designer. There's so much more to it than knitwear - it's an amazingly versatile material and can be used in so many different ways from chic to rustic.

Fashion is about dreaming and making other people dream.

I don't see anybody categorized as a 'fashion diva,' except for me! And I like that. I am thought of as a diva because I wear an evening dress and I take care of my look when I go out. I go to parties regarding business, not for fun. And that's why they call me a 'diva.'

A business woman needs a successful mix of design and practicality.

When I meet celebrities, I have to know what they are like and only then can I design. The clothes have to fit their personality.
