thinking masculine-and-feminine clothes
Everyone has a masculine and feminine side; masculine qualities and feminine qualities. We've all got these sides to ourselves. And clothes can tell that story. People would think this is very unsympathetic, but I would always say to people, you don't actually need to go through with an operation, can't you just be? You are who you are! But then people say to me, "Oh, you're really dreadful, how would you know?".
girl makeup thinking
And it's absolutely great, when everything comes together with the hair, the dresses and the makeup and the models and the music and the presentation. I can't get over these girls. They look wonderful. But by the time we finish with them, they look like they came from another planet. And I just think it's great.
running fun thinking
Every time I hear that word, I cringe. Fun! I think it's disgusting; it's just running around. It's not my idea of pleasure.
thinking ideas quality
I do think if you aim for quality, it's not so much about consumerism. The idea is 'Buy less, choose well, make it last,'
women thinking artist
I think feminists are unaware of the tremendous extent of the role of women in history.
thinking important world
I think it is terribly important to have opinions, and to think. We live in a world of action without thought.
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.
thinking important vote
I think it's important to vote.
fashion thinking people
I just think people should invest in the world. Don't invest in fashion, but invest in the world.
believe night thinking
The best night of my life was watching the Japanese Noh theater. I've only seen it once, but even saying it now, I think, 'How can I ever have this experience again?' It was so mesmerizing, so complicated and so primordial; I could not believe it.
real thinking play
There is a real connection between culture and climate change. We all have a part to play and if you engage with life, you will get a new set of values, get off the consumer treadmill, and start to think, and it is these great thinkers who will rescue the planet.
fashion thinking people
I'm a fashion designer and people think, what do I know?
thinking people buying
If you ask me what I think people should be getting next season, I’ll tell you what I’d like them to buy—nothing. I’d like people to stop buying and buying and buying.
fashion thinking stones
Fashion has become so whatever. I don't think there are any stones left to unturn.
