When I started out modeling, there weren’t casting directors and there weren’t stylists, so you just dealt directly with the designer. We were all much closer back then. . .
Colour disturbs people. I am confident in black, not in light. This dark side of life is attractive to me forever and from the beginning. I am a lazy designer when it comes to colour.
The worlds of art and fashion have always been very intertwined at Dior. Francois-Xavier Lalanne and his wife, Claude, for instance, did windows for Monsieur Dior. Dior himself was a gallerist before becoming the revolutionary fashion designer we all know.
I never intended being a business person I wanted to be a fashion designer.
If you want to live a meaningfully better life, you're going to have to make the dangerous choice to dissent. A life lived meaningfully isn't denominated by digital friends, designer logos, or wads of paper notes. It's denominated by what you've lived, what it's worth to you, and what that's worth to humanity.
Designers like even grayness, which is the worst thing for a reader.
If you are a designer, sometimes it is better not to delegate, because someone pays money for something that you designed, so it should be exactly the way you want it, exactly the way you would have chosen it. People call me a control freak, and I say, "Well, my name is on the shoe. " It means the heel needs to be the way I want it and not the way somebody else wants it, and the toe needs to be exactly the way I want it, and the fabric and the material have to be exactly the way I want it. It is not a democracy - it is a dictatorship.
I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern, very now - no one wears head-to-toe designer anymore.
Fashion is very judgmental. It's something where you have to be careful. I have a long way to go before I can be a designer. I'd love to one day, but we'll see.
If you say that you're a cheap designer, you're a cheap designer. It's really hard to recover from that.
I am not a designer that buys vintage to be inspired.
I've always cared about fashion and what I look like. I don't like to spend a lot of money on designer clothes, but I do like to look good.
The main thing that 99designs is about is choice. Its a fantastic model that eliminates risk for small business owners and puts designers on equal footing.
We have the freedom to excel or inhibit our potential. You are the grand designer of your thoughts and emotions. At some level or another you are the one who chooses which thoughts to accept and which ones to ignore. That can be a very empower realization.
I have always been a big supporter and fan of independent designers in general.
Fashion is not necessarily about labels. It's not about brands. It's about something else that comes from within you.
There is no better designer then nature
I love telling press the designers I'm wearing, especially if they are emerging. That's exciting to me, supporting talented newcomers.
I'm a designer, and I think if you work in fashion, you have to give people fantasy.
Everywhere I go, I can't wear everything a designer creates. I'm a little more gritty.
