fashion dressing-up good-man
Dressing well is a form of good manners.
thinking perfection sometimes
Perfection is almost an illness with me, but sometimes I have moments where everything is absolutely clear and you can feel, rather than think.
thinking age want
It's funny, our beauty standard has become harder and tougher because we live in a tough age. I don't think anyone wants to walk down the street and feel vulnerable. You want to walk down the street and feel like you're in control.
country new-york kids
When I was a little kid, all I wanted to do was to escape what I thought was the country and get to a city. Probably film and television had influenced me so much, I really thought the key to happiness was living a very artificial life in a penthouse in New York with martini glasses.
fashion artist creating
As a fashion designer, I was always aware that I was not an artist, because I was creating something that was made to be sold, marketed, used, and ultimately discarded.
beautiful clothes want
I just want to make beautiful, glamorous clothes.
new-year live-life believe
I believe in living life the way that you want to live it every day, and if you do that, you don't really need to have New Year's resolutions.
beautiful fashion struggle
But as an adult working in the fashion industry, I struggle with materialism. And I'm one of the least materialistic people that exist, because material possessions don't mean much to me. They're beautiful, I enjoy them, they can enhance your life to a certain degree, but they're ultimately not important.
stupid fabulous
I thought I was fabulous and everyone else was stupid.
fashion president actors
We have the Terminator as governor, and we had an actor as president, so why shouldn't we have a fashion designer as a senator?
sound wonderful life-is
It's like everything in your life is wonderful, but you have so much wonderful - this is all going to sound horrible - but when you have so much wonderful, it isn't wonderful because you don't actually have time to enjoy it.
fashion school mean
I realized that the way I approached architecture was with a somewhat fashion brain. That didn't get me very good marks in school, because everyone thought fashion was lightweight. In architecture they say, "Well, why is the door pink? Where does it go? What does the pink mean? What does it symbolize? All the other doors are beige, why is that one pink?" I was like, "Well, it's pink because it's pretty."
believe mean want
I believe that when you really want to do something, you should go ahead and do it. I mean, I feel fear, but I never let that stop me.
everyday
Everyday is one less day.
