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.
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.
I've always been drawn to the American style in the late '50s and '60s.
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.
bankers believe family gets
I come from a family of bankers and lawyers, and they joked that they can't believe I'm the one that gets to go to the White House.
dad good last looked somehow
My dad was an attorney. The last thing he ever thought about was clothes, and yet somehow he always looked good.
acceptable fuss general good jeans men natural shame though wear
While I think men in general should not fuss over how they look, I do feel as though they should make more an effort to find a way to look good in their own individual, but natural way. I think it's a shame that it's become acceptable to wear jeans and a T-shirt to any place and function.
love tailored
Doing womenswear is challenging, and it's exciting. I approach it the same way as I approach menswear, so it's in a tailored way, and I do my thing. I love doing 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.
