How would you describe your style? Classic with a twist of glamour. I’m known for running around in pants and a cowboy hat.

Favorite designers? My favorite is Galanos. No one made clothes like him. I wear a lot of Oscar, Valentino, Carolina Herrera. All of those designers bring youth and vitality to their designs by being timeless.

Ever experienced a fashion disaster? I did this year. When I was in Florence, Italy, I went into this one store. I thought, “Oh, I’m going to be like an Italian.” All the people at the store were going “Bellissima!” for everything I tried on. When I got home I realized I’d bought ugly clothes.
