Fashion is not about before, it’s not about after, it’s about now
It was not the story of design or clothes, it was the fantasy of women that made me want to work in fashion.
Fashion is not about buying a second skin. Fashion is about having a fantasy.
Fashion is about having a fantasy.
I was thinking recently, If the body really is the new dress, as some are saying - with women buying boobs, butts, faces - then who needs a dressmaker? So I started designing spring like a plastic surgeon - everything stretchy and nude. But after three weeks, I was so bored with myself and the world, I began adding diamond butterflies and chiffon and colors. I realized that fashion is not about second skin. It's not the perfect white shirt or camel jacket. What women need is a dream.
Pure, intense emotions. It's not about design. It's about feelings.
I like the dream, like fantasy dresses. Women can dream at 9 in the morning and at 10 o’clock at night, it doesn’t matter. I think it is also important for me to make it pragmatic and practical and wearable. I always say, 'If you can’t eat it, it’s not food, and if you can’t wear it, it’s not fashion, it is something else.'
I like first class, but I don't like first class people - I prefer the people in coach. I like fine restaurants, but prefer the taste of McDonalds. I like to be perfect, but I don't like perfection - I think it's dangerous. There is nothing after perfection. I know, I am a walking contradiction.
To be a fashion critic is easy because you just say, 'I love it, I hate it,' but life is more than love and hate.
Fashion is like a fruit, you couldn't eat it a day before and you can't eat it a day after; it's just about today
I think that because I'm overweight, [my] fantasy was lightness. So I project my fantasy to the clothes, and now all I do is light, light clothes because it's the one thing I don't have. That is why I'm too afraid to lose weight because then I might make heavy clothes.
In fashion we're lucky, we make dreams come true.
With fashion, I barely finish one collection before I must start another.
If it’s not edible, it’s not food. If it’s not wearable, it’s not fashion.
I've always said fashion is like roast chicken: You don't have to think about it to know it's delicious.
What I love in fashion is to tell a story through a creation.
I think that we are in a very strange time, when everybody is thinking about what is going to happen, and everybody is kind of cleaning house a little bit. In the fashion world, we are doing something similar. We are taking the fake out and being a little bit more real and simple.
I think that the lack of intuition in fashion today is one of the most dangerous things. My fear is that our business is turning into a bag business, and it's all about the bag. But it's not only about the bag. It's about the women. And it's not about a bag or a shoe or the jewelry. It's only about women. . . . Being almost politically correct and doing only what you expect without the ability to make mistakes is very dangerous to fashion. We have to go with our heart. We have to go with our intuition.
What is beautiful for you may not be beautiful to someone else. Or whatever is beautiful here may not be beautiful there and what is sometimes beautiful today is not necessarily beautiful tomorrow. Perhaps this is the story of fashion and what makes it move forward, the fact that there is no decision whatsoever with what’s wrong.
In fashion, we have a reputation for being such a façade, fake people, but none of the fashion people who I know are fake.
Fashion doesn't look good only on models, it can look good on different people of different ages and different body shapes.
Fashion is instinctive and sensual. Learn to love what you wear. It should feel like eating chocolates...wi thout the calories
I know amazing people in fashion who are anything but fake. They are very real and very sensitive. They are happy and sad. They are loyal friends.
Fashion is not always about what's new, it's also about what's good. And I think if you need to see what's good, you have to be there.
I think fashion is about longevity and doing your work. It isn't about winning or losing. It's about process, keeping it going.
