It’s easier to follow fashion than it is to have personal style.
Enjoy your family. Do things that you like to do. Stay strong. That’s the secret to remaining happy.
I don’t design clothes, I design dreams.
We all get report cards in many different ways, but the real excitement of what you’re doing is in the doing of it. It’s not what you’re gonna get in the end – it’s not the final curtain – it’s really in the doing it, and loving what you’re doing.
I believe in style, not fashion.
What I do is about living. It’s about living the best life you can and enjoying the fullness of the life around you- from what you wear, to the way you live, to the way you love.
Glamour is an attitude-it’s the expression of a certain kind of confidence. A glamorous woman is always elegant, but she also possesses an air of mystery and excitement. She’s dramatic-almost untouchable.
I’m interested in longevity, timelessness, style – not fashion.
I have always loved things that are timeless and get better with age.
Fashion is a function of lifestyle, and style a function of quality, integrity and timelessness.
I have always done what I love myself. My philosophy was that I never had focus groups. I did what I wear.
Success isn’t based on ‘look what I can do!’ but more on an inner sense of self and believing you have something to say in your own consistent way. And I think we all have to fight to maintain our unique style and taste in a world that would have us conform.
I believe one can live many lives through personal style. Every day is an occasion to reinvent yourself.
People ask how can a Jewish kid from the Bronx do preppy clothes? Does it have to do with class and money? It has to do with dreams.
Every time I design clothes, I’m making a movie.
I have always been drawn to the beauty of things designed to function. Mixing technical pieces with more traditional prints and patterns creates not only a quality experience, but a look that is unique, and for me, very exciting.
More than ever I’m proud to be an American, to live in a country that respects the rights of all to marry whomever they love. The Supreme Court decision gives new meaning to the freedoms we cherish.
You have to create something from nothing.
When friends enter a home, they sense its personality and character, the family’s style of living – these elements make a house come alive with a sense of identity, a sense of energy, enthusiasm, and warmth, declaring: “This is how we are; this is how we live.”
I went through the extremes of amazing notoriety and also the dreaded things that you never thought you’d have to live through. Not everything works the way you want it to, but if I sit back and think, ‘Am I happy about this?’ Yeah. I wouldn’t have done anything any better.
