I wish I had invented blue jeans.

I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes. Doing collections, doing fashion is like a non-stop dialogue. We must never confuse elegance with snobbery. Design is a series of creative choices - it's a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be. Everything I do is a matter of heart, body and soul.
I wanted to dress the woman who lives and works, not the woman in a painting. Attention to detail is of utmost importance when you want to look good. I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes. Vanity is the healthiest thing in life. I'm a fashion designer and people think, what do I know?

Delete the negative; accentuate the positive!

Dressing is a way of life. Design is a series of creative choices - it's a collaborative effort, an evolutionary process. You choose your fabrics depending upon what you want to say, then you work with mills to get those fabrics. Through the process, you realize what you want it to be. War taught me that not everything is glamorous. I didn't want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn't like it. I always wanted to do other things. I couldn't love a woman who inspired me to be totally disinterested. If I fell in love with a woman for an artistic reason, or from the point of view of my work, I think it would rob her of something.
