thinking eras standards
I think the 1970s will always be the decade for me. Obviously, I grew up in that era, but the beauty standard was touchable, kissable.
world dinner judgmental
I'm very aware that when my friends and I sit around over dinner these days, the conversation invariably turns to how crass the world has become. Tweeting? It's one of the silliest things ever.
fashion cities shoes
London is one of the few cities where people still dress properly and fashion exists. Every day I see women who've thought about their outfits. They've picked out the bag, put on proper shoes. ... Do you know how rare it is in parts of America to actually see 'an outfit'? France? I don't want to be anti-French but there isn't a more unattractive group of people on the streets.
imagine
You have to love what you do to the point that you can't imagine doing anything else with your life.
thinking black dresses
I love black dresses. I think everyone should own a lot, but black dresses don't sell online because on the computer they don't read like anything.
thinking silence noise
A few times in my life I've had moments of clarity where the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think.
inspirational important stuff
From the time we're born until we die, we're kept busy with artificial stuff that isn't important.
men common-sense marketing
I suppose, yes, I've been guilty of provocation but it's also just common sense marketing - put a bottle of scent in a woman's cleavage, or between her thighs - and men will notice.
fashion life-changing moving
Moving fashion used to be one of my chief goals. It's not necessarily any more. Fashion needs to change when life changes. You only need to move fashion forward when there's a reason to move fashion forward.
character expression feel-good
Style for me is some one who figures out who they are. What works on them. What they feel good in and develops that. Develops their character. And the outer expression of their character is what is style.
clothes design lines
I'm not designing clothes for someone who is doing lines of coke off the table, like I was when I was at Gucci and Saint Laurent
beautiful nice mean
I try to be nice, I try to respect other people, but over the years I've learned that all this stuff we do is a bunch of crap. That doesn't mean it doesn't have its place. We are living in a material world, so why not live with something beautiful?
relationship men wife
If I were straight and I were trying to seduce a woman, I could do it just by standing up at the table when she came back from the bathroom. It works. Every time I do that, all the straight men are sitting at the table and their wives are kicking them. "Look at that!" "You never do that for me!"
thinking people noses
I haven't had any plastic surgery - despite what people think, this is my nose. I have had Restylane and Botox, but I don't think of that as plastic surgery any more.
