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.
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.
