If you don’t move, you get stale.
The well dressed man never stands out in a crowd; his elegance sets him apart.
A fragrance is like a signature, so that even after a woman leaves the room, her fragrance should reveal she's been there.
Things never happen on accident. They happen because you have a vision, you have a commitment, you have a dream.
The only realities in life are that you are born, and that you die. We always think we are going to live forever. The dying aspect we will never accept. The one thing about having this kind of warning is how you appreciate every single day of life.
Elegance is a discipline of life.
I’ve lived every day to the fullest, and I’ve had a marvelous time. I’ve tried to be nice to the people I care about, and ignore the ones I don’t. I enjoy what I’ve done.
Fashion is about dressing according to what's fashionable. Style is more about being yourself.
Style begins by looking good naked. It's a discipline. And if you don't dress well every day, you lose the habit. It's not about what you wear, but about how you live your life.
Walk like you have three men walking behind you.
Style begins by looking good naked
Every day you have to reinvent yourself
Be the designer of your own destiny.
It’s not about what you wear, but about how you live your life
