• Los hombres llaman a las mujeres infieles, cambiantes, y aunque lo dicen celosos de su propio honor sexual siempre amenazado, hay algo de verdad en ello. Podemos cambiar nuestra vida, nuestro ser; no importa cuál sea nuestra voluntad, cambiamos. Como la luna cambia, pero es una, así somos virgen, esposa, madre, abuela. A pesar de toda su inquietud, los hombres son lo que son; una vez que se ponen la toga de hombre no volverán a cambiar; así que hacen de esa rigidez una virtud y se resisten a todo lo que pueda suavizarla y liberarlos.

• It's more than just a dress; it's a spirit. The wrap dress was an interesting cultural phenomenon, and one that has lasted 30 years. What is so special about it is that it's actually a very traditional form of clothing. It's like a toga, it's like a kimono, without buttons, without a zipper. What made my wrap dresses different is that they were made out of jersey and they sculpted the body.

• The wrap dress is the most traditional form of dressing: It's like a robe, it's like a kimono, it's like a toga. It doesn't have buttons or zippers. What made it different was that it was jersey; therefore, it was close to the body and it was a print.
