Tweeting? It’s one of the silliest things ever.
Style for me is some one who figures out who they are. What works on them. What they feel good in and develops that. Develops their character. And the outer expression of their character is what is style.
Skin bathed in summer sunset light is sultry and sublime. Every woman looks irresistible in its glow-relaxed and sensual.
I’m actually very introverted. I’m very shy. I’m very emotional.
I don’t want to find myself designing for the press.
I worry constantly and obsess over things, but I just don’t let fear stand in the way of doing something that I really want to do.
It’s not a feminizing product; it’s designed to make your skin look better.
There is no more dramatic accessory than a perfect lip. It is the focus of the face and it has the power to define a woman’s whole look.
We are living in a material world, so why not live with something beautiful?
Fashion creates a bit of a dream.
Most everyone now personally knows someone who is openly homosexual.
Just like girls need to learn to be comfortable in heels before they go out in them for the first time, a man should try wearing a suit throughout a normal day. I do most things in a suit-and sometimes even in a tuxedo-and so I’m really comfortable in one.
I probably do have an obsessive personality, but striving for perfection has served me well.
If it’s not fun, I’m not going to do it.
I enjoy the speed of fashion. I love doing different things and I think I still have something valid to say in fashion.
Advertising is, of course, important because advertise is the final design. It’s the last layer that speaks to the customer, that tells them what you have.
A good trick as you get older is to get a thick pair of glasses that have a dark frame. Everything else can droop and slide but that pair of dark glasses stays sharp and crisp. Look at Cary Grant. Look at Vidal Sassoon.
I love fashion. What I love is the ability to express yourself, to be able to make a product and shoot an ad campaign that tosses you out into the world and lets you have a voice in contemporary culture, iconography. I felt a little bit neutered not having that voice.
Never, ever, ever wear anything you are uncomfortable in. Because that is what you’ll project: ‘I look like a fool.’
I’m a very serious person.
If I was ever going to become a good designer, I had to leave America. My own culture was inhibiting me. Too much style in America is tacky. It’s looked down upon to be too stylish. Europeans, however, appreciate style.
