zara way sound
A lot of the things I did - it's not going to sound anything but egotistical - if I'm lucky and I did the right thing, they will be at Zara way before I can get them in the store, and I don't like that.
cutting giving shows
Give me the control, don't ever come on the set, and I'll show it to you when it's cut.
lying thinking water
If I'm sending emails, and I get all wound up and stressed and don't know what to do with myself for 20 minutes, I just go soak in hot water and lie there, thinking, 'What should I do?' So it's meditative.
thinking be-true-to-yourself film
A film should be somewhat personal. I think that whatever you create you have to be true to yourself and create something that feels right to you.
fashion sex thinking
My career in fashion has been very much about sexuality and sex, and I think a lot of people think that's all I can do and what I am all about.
tantrums awful staff
I'm very direct. I don't have tantrums. I don't yell or shout. I do expect an awful lot from my staff, but no more than I expect of myself.
art thinking important
I think what's important for myself and anyone else who wants to create a film, or art, is [to] make sure that they have something to say, that they want to share something important, express something important.
fashion goes-on behind-the-scenes
Both film and fashion are businesses where the audience doesn't feel or see the work that goes on behind the scenes.
sexy high-heels pairs
It's hard not to be sexy in a pair of high heels.
inspirational america together
When the youth of America gets together, amazing things happen.
beautiful men clothes
I want to make beautiful clothes for women and men who appreciate detail and quality. The product must be the best but this is almost secondary to the service the customer will receive.
fashion art makeup
Fashion is everything. Art, music, furniture design, graphic design, hair, makeup, architecture, the way cars look - all those things go together to make a moment in time, and that's what excites me.
spiritual fashion too-much
In my early 40s I started to feel that I had neglected the spiritual side of my life. It had always been there, but I'd neglected it. In fashion, that's really easy because we live in the future, and we can place too much importance on material things.
views good-man trying
Dressing well is a kind of good manners, if you ask me. When you're standing in a room, your effect is the same as a chair's effect, or a sculpture's. You're part of someone's view, you're part of that world, and so you should dress well. I find it's a show of respect to try to put on your best face and look as good as you can.
