I have tried to hold my philanthropic passion to fashion, because I think this is very important, and I realize I need to delve even deeper into it.

I like the idea of having many different ways to express myself. There is a part of me as an artist and a creator who would like to express myself in many different ways. But then at the same time I know I have limited hours in the day, and I can only do so much successfully.

I live for what I haven’t done.

I look in my closet, and if I need it, I design it.

I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It’s about space and form and it’s something you can share with other people.

I meditate whenever I can. I can be in the back seat of a car or in between appointments.

I never see one woman when I design, it’s always a universe of women.

I practice yoga and take a steam-filled bath or shower. Then I sit quietly and review and prioritize my to-do list.

I really feel that we need to scale back and get to what is important on so many levels.

I sit quietly and repeat my mantra until I’m in a meditative state, taking it all in but not focusing on any one thing.
