bad people
When people have too many choices, they make bad choices.
asked design time tuxedo
I was asked to design the tuxedo for Mr. Peanut. They're rebranding him. That was probably the most interesting request. I didn't spend a long time considering it.
sort typical
I always like playing with some sort of typical convention or idea and turning it over.
home
Nothing is worse than a home that is too perfect and done. You have to live in it.
along ironing jackets wear
Nothing should be perfect. I think that's the most important thing. I do wear my jackets almost exaggeratedly short. So that's probably the most mussed up. Along with, you know, not ironing my shirt.
moving thinking people
As a designer, I'm supposed to be provoking people's reactions, and getting people to see things differently. I think more of us should be doing this. Because yeah, maybe guys are not gonna want to wear my stuff, but they'll think that they can maybe wear something a little bit more than what they've been wearing. That's the only way things move forward.
thinking together too-much
The most uninteresting thing for me is when somebody thinks too much about how they put themselves together.
men thinking perfection
Men shouldn’t try too hard, or think about what they wear too much. I like when there’s something about a look that throws it off a little – perfection is really imperfect.
simple men cities
Every man should own a navy cashmere jacket with gold buttons, a grey suit, black shoes shoes for the city, brown shoes for elsewhere. Everything else should be simple and really well made.
thinking saws suits
If you saw me every day, you would actually think I am wearing the exact same gray suit,
design important true-to-yourself
It is so important to be really true to yourself in design, and I am.
thinking suits dressings
I don’t understand why everybody thinks that dressing casually is so much more comfortable. I’m as comfortable in a suit as I am in anything else.
inspiration men ideas
If you’re constantly open to inspiration, it will come to you. The worst thing a man can do is pressure himself into an idea.
jeans t-shirt shirts
I feel like jeans and a T-shirt have become Establishment. Everyone’s dressed down. So actually putting on a jacket is the anti-Establishment stance.
