I was never conscious that I was becoming an icon or I'm not an icon, because my family, my kids, my husband keep me down-to-earth. ”

It's always fun when people ask you for advice. ”

Either you are a good Virgo or a crazy Virgo! The good Virgo side of me is educating and raising the children - being there for them. ”

Fashion is one big family. ”

I see girls who are so skinny on the catwalks, and I know so many of them destroy their lives and their family's lives. ”

When I was young, no one got married. Now, all the young people, they want to get married, they want security. Now that my children's friends are getting married, I go to more weddings than I ever did when I was young. ”

I made a big family when I was working at 'Vogue' for ten years, and I'm still friends with a lot of them. ”

Becoming a grandmother brought me back to the things I forgot to love. Nature. Playing. Seeing animals. A new way of looking. A rejuvenation. A cycle of life - things come back to you. The details. ”

If you don't want to get bored with what you're doing, you have to change. ”
