18:39 - To survive fashion brands must learn to stand for something. It will not be enough to create a great dress or suit, they really need to be engaged in the world and not only in their atelier.
27:23 - I loved writing my book on Michelle Obama‘s fashion. She liked fashion but did not want to be controlled by it. She dressed to be the first hostess of America and she did a great job that way.
35:10 - For the inauguration I hope the First Lady will wear something white or blue. Those are the colors that represent hope, a new beginning.
