I like magazines. I love to look at a magazine. But the magazines have got to get better. Everything pushes someone else to get better. So the Internet pushes the magazines.
Breast cancer is not just a woman’s issue – it affects all of us: the brothers, husbands, fathers, children and friends.
I’ve never wanted to be in fashion. Because if you’re in fashion, you’re going to be out of fashion.
I am constantly drawing inspiration from everything I see-the places I travel, the people I know and the movies I see.
When I create a collection, I approach it with a cinematic point of view-I am not designing clothes, I’m creating a world.
Books open windows to the world and have the power to transform lives.
Invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Thomas Edison I don’t design clothes, I design dreams.
The clothes that I design and everything I’ve done is about life and how people live and how they want to live and how they dream they’ll live. That’s what I do.
For me, style is about quality, integrity and timelessness. It is free of trends but always feels fresh and new.
I can drive a certain car one day with great pleasure, and the next day I’ll be disappointed that the experience isn’t as good as the day before. These cars have moods that change with the weather, or with the driver’s own moods.
As I started to buy cars, I didn’t know that I was building a collection. I just wanted the cars I was dreaming about. Once you drive a good one, it is like having a fever.
My day is pretty much busy. I do 15 million things in the course of a day. I’m holding up I think. I don’t know how I look, but I think I’m holding up.
I’m a fan of people that have quality, that do what they do and that are not into the showbiz.
I think the people who work with me are people who love style themselves. I’m leaving the office and they’re still working. They’re passionate.
Some days I have a knot in my stomach because I’ve got to sit down and come up with something in womenswear that no one else came up with.
I think I’m very fortunate to be born in America. And lucky to be able to have lived and had the opportunity to do what I want to do.
I don’t think I’m the gift of the world – I just do what I do, and I love it and I’ve been lucky.
What’s interesting about fashion is it’s a world, and I think that’s what I’ve done – I’ve made a contribution and I think I’ve built a world. The world is beyond just clothes. Taste and style is beyond clothes. It’s in food; it’s in quality.
I’m designing what I want. If it’s a man’s coat with a pair of skinny-leg jeans, I’ll do that. It’s whatever my mood is. But it’s about style, and it’s about an understated taste that’s cool.
I exercise at the gym with a trainer. I feel it’s very healthy, very important – important for everybody. I feel it’s good for you. It makes you feel better. It loosens you up a little bit.
