fashion book reading
Well, I'm very much a literary person. And my fashion always tells a story somehow. I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring. To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I've got books I need to read.
fashion thinking years
I'm not sure what I think about current fashion, though. A few years ago, I would have said it's really, really bad and you hardly ever see anybody looking good. There must be some very good designers in the world.
fashion fall makeup
I very rarely watch my own fashion shows, but the makeup for my Fall 2011 show was just brilliant.
fashion thinking people
I just think people should invest in the world. Don't invest in fashion, but invest in the world.
fashion jealous people
Journalists are usually quite jealous people, especially of intellectuals who are supposed to be in fashion.
sexy fashion giving
Fashion is here to help make people look very important. If they have good taste and choose what suits them, I give them options on how they can do that. It's always sexy, and it's always with the same result: making women look fantastic.
fashion clothes people
Liverpool people are famous for liking clothes and fashion; they are very social and lively people, and we know that they like clothes.

My fashion advice is to have a flattering mirror and then forget about it.

Don't just eat McDonald's, get something a bit better. Eat a salad. That's what fashion is. It's something that is a bit better.
fashion careers half
I didn't want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn't like it. I always wanted to do other things.
fashion book reading
I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring. To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do. I've got books I need to read. More people should read books. It's the most concentrated experience you can have. You know, all those incredible geniuses concentrated their lifetimes' experiences in books. It's much better than chattering away to somebody who's never read anything and knows nothing at all.
