art inspiration creativity
Creativity in any form stimulates creativity in every form, music, arts, literature... I find inspiration in anything. It's all the same.
art critics art-critic
Art critics are like every other critic.
art thinking ideas
I think something happens with age. And I find this really a lot in what I read from certain art critics: For people who are all about change-people who are supposed to be intellectually and culturally drawn to the idea of change and how the voice of a creative person affects the world on a bigger scale than just the canvas-I would expect a person in that position to have that open mind. It's only a sign of age that they become so locked in their own rules that they forget that this is what it's all about.
art world want
I don't know the history of art, but I got over intimidation from the art world when I realized that I was allowed to feel whatever I want and like whatever I want.
fashion art thinking
Anyone who thinks designers don't talk to editors, and editors don't talk to stores doesn't know what's happening...It's called crossover, sampling all references in music, art and fashion.
fashion art real
I like characters. I like spirited characters whether they exist in fiction or real life. Whether they're the invention of artistic people or directors, musicians. I think music and art and fashion designers inspire me and I like characters.
team artist doors
Marc Jacobs is full of creative people and Louis Vuitton is again a name on the door, a name that has existed for many years but I'm a collaborator there and I bring in other people, other artists and I work with a great creative design team.
art people looks
There is a small world of people who are very interested in contemporary art and a slightly bigger world of people who look at contemporary art. But then there is a much larger world that doesn't realise how influential art is on things that they actually look at.
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?
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!
art believe world
I really do believe that art changes the landscape of the world.
bigger bit colored larger lenses mixing shapes wonderful
The shapes are more angular, more aviator in feeling. A little bit larger and oversize, ... They're also doing wonderful combinations, mixing the acetates with metals, and wonderful colored lenses are bigger than ever again.
prepared students work
And when I see students now, I just don't think they are prepared to work so hard. It comes too easy.

Whoever moved those show dates up in New York should be executed.
