classic people pieces shock shows six suit
Some people think that my shows are just for shock value, but the provocation makes those classic pieces look different every six months. You don't need to see the same gray suit every season. But surrounding it with 40 really interesting ideas makes it feel new.
key shorts suits tips wear wing
Seersucker and khaki suits are the key to looking put-together in the summer. I also wear shorts year-round. And I would never say never, but I don't wear sandals. With shorts, it's wing tips and tennis socks.
thinking saws suits
If you saw me every day, you would actually think I am wearing the exact same gray suit,
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.
fits wear
I think guys don't always realize that clothing that fits is actually more comfortable than clothing that doesn't fit. I think guys do sometimes wear clothing that is too big.
good
I think good tailoring and something that's well-made never gets boring or tiring.
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.
certainly collection meant people stamp visible wider
I like to maintain my collection as a provocative collection that makes people think. While certainly my stamp will be visible on Black Fleece, it is meant for a wider audience.
anybody business designing lauren ralph respect sustain themselves
Designing is so easy - it's the business that is hard. That's why you really have to respect Ralph Lauren - look at what he's done. Anybody who can sustain themselves should be applauded.
brown few pairs tips wear wing
When it comes to shoes, you don't really need more than a few pairs of wing tips or oxfords. They're classics. And I wear only black shoes in the city. Brown ones are for the country.
Some people, when they see my shows, leave saying, 'Who would wear that?'
black grey tie white
My uniform: grey suit, white shirt, grey tie and tie bar, grey cardigan and black wingtips.
attracted became grew inherent uniformity
I'm not Amish, but I grew up in that same area of Pennsylvania and became very attracted to the inherent strictness and uniformity of that community.
clothes concepts front interested people putting smile
I want to put concepts in front of people that make them laugh or smile or even hate what I do. I'm not interested in just putting clothes in stores.
