OK, be honest--Do you think its clothes or confidence

that really makes woman sexy?

Both. The right clothes will definitely give you confidence which is
very sexy. But some women, like Angelina Jolie, exude confidence
so are sexy regardless of what they are wearing. But a 5 inch
“Loubie” ain’t gonna hurt!

Can you name-drop some up-and-coming

designers we should look out for?
I adore Chris Benz, Juan Carlos Obando, Brian
Reyes, Prabal Gurung and my good friend
Magda Berliner who isn’t really up and coming
but has still not made her big “splash.”

You have a day off. What are you wearing?

I’m slightly obsessed with the Gap right now and
I’m head to toe: 1969 jeans, flannel and denim
jacket. Well, except for my Yves Saint Laurent
combat boots, Chanel aviators and Tod’s gym
bag. Even grunge needs a little glamour.

What advice do you have for women who don’t have a lot
of money but want to look nice, professional and put-to-
gether whenever they leave the house?
Make sure you clothing fits you! For example, you can buy a $20
dress either vintage or at H&M and by simply making alterations
or changing buttons or a cheap looking belt, you can have a dress
perfectly tailored to your body that will look like you spent $500
on— but could cost you a tenth of the price.

How does your heritage influence your personal style?

I’m blessed with great genes so even though I’m 42, I can still dress
the way I wanted to dress in the early 80s.

Joan Rivers is a legend. What is it like to collaborate with

her—and is she as hilarious as she appears on TV?
I adore Joan Rivers. She is the sweetest, funniest and smartest lady.
She sometimes gets a bad rap for being mean, but she isn’t. If she’s
making a joke about you, then you are deemed important enough
to have on the show and that’s a huge compliment. But it’s all for
comedy and nothing personal.
