“Fashion should be about enthusiasm for what you’re wearing. It should be fun. Finding that perfect balance between what is fashionable and what you totally love is the ideal.

- Kate Spade

“I’m usually the sparkle in a closet full of conservative clothes. Either that or my customer has a closet full of my clothes and a few conservative suits from Calvin Klein.

-Betsey Johnson
