\r\n\"If I learned anything from my retail days [Kors once fit boots on Jackie O], it\'s that American women value ease above all: Fashion has to feel good. For fall, we layered shapely coats over chiffon tops and sophisticated below-the-knee skirts. It\'s no longer about looking like baby dolls. Add a sleek pet greyhound as accessory, and the look says fast and rich . . . Project Runway has definitely made me a better designer. Like TV, style has become about smash-and-grab excitement. And now my fan base extends to 12-year-olds!\"

Blige and Amy Winehouse [whose Back to Black plays constantly in his showroom]. Women have evolved to a point where they don\'t have the time or inclination to look perfect. It\'s the Olsens looking amazing at a black-tie event with completely messed-up hair.\"

\r\n\"I never apprenticed with a designer, but even as a teenager, my world was rocked by Yves Saint Laurent, who gave women building blocks -- like peacoats -- and Halston, who proved simplicity was luxury. My greatest luxury is simple, too: the sun. The beach is my battery-charger -- much to the chagrin of my skin doctor.\"
