fashion creative six-months
When you see a fashion show, you see those seven minutes of what was six months of tedious work of, you know, going up an inch and down an inch, changing it from one shade of red to another shade of red. So it's the same as any creative process. The result is what we see, but the process is really labor intensive and work.
dresses forget t-shirt
The best dresses are like t-shirts - you just put them on and forget about them.
fashion art flawless
You can go to Graff and buy a diamond that's flawless. You aren't going to be able to buy the same diamond at Fortunoff, but it's still a diamond you can enjoy. If fashion can allow you to have the Chanel mystique through a lipstick, then why shouldn't art allow you to have that through a sweatshirt that says 'Cremaster' on it?
birth jacob company
I am Marc Jacobs by birth, but we are Marc Jacobs by the company that we built.
ebay computer knows
I wouldn't know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it.
grandmother people next
My grandmother was amazing. She completely believed in me and was very encouraging. She would go to the supermarket or the butcher or wherever and tell people, 'My grandson is going to be the next Calvin Klein.'
beautiful real character
I love to design for women, it's really open and very free. I always think of my friends. I think of both fictitious characters, real people from the past and the present. I am not a woman, but I find women so beautiful and so fascinating.
jobs artist shoes
I'm a designer. I make clothes and bags and shoes. I have a job that involves making creative choices, but I'm not a divinely inspired human being like an artist!
europe shows developing
We're developing things, but I don't know what we'll go with for the show, so I don't like to talk about it.
fashion people want
Fashion is such a fairytale and it is such a fantasy. And it's about metamorphosis and sort of changing yourself and playing a part that you want people to see.
fashion interesting people
Fashion is just something money can buy. People who are stylish are free and have no fear in staying true to themselves. Plus, style is infinitely more interesting.
heart thinking luxury
I think there is something about luxury - it's not something people need, but it's what they want. It really pulls at their heart.
fashion heart want
Fashion isn't a necessity. It pulls at your heart. It's a whim. You don't need it. You want it.
fashion
Happy, happy fashion. There is not much more to it than that.
