song book writing
A singer can quit once he or she has made ten great songs; a director can finish once he or she has made five amazing films; a writer just needs to write three great books.
dream fashion lucky
In fashion we're lucky, we make dreams come true.
sports morning hate
I do sport at the gym a few times a week, but I hate it. Work is my only remedy. I feel so twisted and horrible in the morning, but then I go to the office and I start feeling better. Work is my Tylenol. Extra-strength.
fashion hate life-is
To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.
fashion real simple
I think that we are in a very strange time, when everybody is thinking about what is going to happen, and everybody is kind of cleaning house a little bit. In the fashion world, we are doing something similar. We are taking the fake out and being a little bit more real and simple.
fashion winning thinking
I think fashion is about longevity and doing your work. It isn't about winning or losing. It's about process, keeping it going.
fashion fantasy
Fashion is about having a fantasy.
fashion design feelings
Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.
fake-people fashion reputation
In fashion, we have a reputation for being such a façade, fake people, but none of the fashion people who I know are fake.
dream fashion spring
I was thinking recently, If the body really is the new dress, as some are saying - with women buying boobs, butts, faces - then who needs a dressmaker? So I started designing spring like a plastic surgeon - everything stretchy and nude. But after three weeks, I was so bored with myself and the world, I began adding diamond butterflies and chiffon and colors. I realized that fashion is not about second skin. It's not the perfect white shirt or camel jacket. What women need is a dream.
beautiful dresses want
I don't want to see a dress with a woman. I just want to see a woman, with a beautiful dress.
moving-forward creating desire
I certainly can't complain. I work six days a week, if not seven, and eighteen hours out of twenty-four - fortunately, with a great deal of pleasure. Why? Because I only do something if I want to do it; I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, moving, inventing.
fashion real people
I know amazing people in fashion who are anything but fake. They are very real and very sensitive. They are happy and sad. They are loyal friends.
beautiful jobs dna
I'm not a plastic surgeon, and I cannot change the DNA of a person, but when I see a woman try on my clothes and she feels beautiful, I know I am doing my job.
