I believe that anything can be for men or women. I mean, I've worn a lace dress before!
Any opportunity to adorn oneself is human, and accessories are an easy way to do it.
Makeup is the finishing touch, the final accessory.
I think it's an old fashioned notion that fashion needs to be exclusive to be fashionable.
Luxury is anything you don't need, right? I mean, you need food, water, clothing, shelter... but good wine, good food, beautiful interiors, nice clothes; those aren't necessities, they are luxuries - it's all luxury.
You don`t have the same reaction to a girl walking around the street today in a nightgown and a vintage coat and sneakers, that you did six years ago.
I love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world.
Fashion isn't a necessity. It pulls at your heart. It's a whim. You don't need it. You want it.
Creativity in any form stimulates creativity in every form, music, arts, literature... I find inspiration in anything. It's all the same.
Innovation is an evolutionary process, so it's not necessary to be radical all the time.
I don’t throw cell phones. I don’t hurt people, I only hurt myself.
Awkwardness gives me great comfort.
I mean, I'd love to have a private jet - I know people who fly by private jet all the time... I've hitched a ride a few times and it is not overrated at all; it's a great way to travel!
I have a lot of tattoos. My first tattoo I had when I was a teenager was just a little heart. I am very friendly with a great artist, Scott Campbell, and I started going to him to get tattoos. I'm very spontaneous about what I get.
I think scent is sensual. I guess evoking a mood or a spirit is key, and I think with the women's fragrances we have evoked different types, moods or sensibilities of a woman - whether it's Daisy with the sweetness and the innocence or Lola which is more provocative, sexy and sultry.
It's the things that aren't accepted as conventionally beautiful that I find more attractive.
Basically, I'm in a kilt and a white shirt every day. So, you know, I don't have a lot of scope, and I'm really picky about what I wear. Even if it's weird, it's very particular to me. And you can't make a business out of what I would wear. We'd be out of business.
Cigarettes and chocolate milk shakes are two amazing things.
I always find it kind of embarrassing, kind of funny, and kind of exciting. In New York I'm recognized a lot, although nobody says anything. You know, they stare at you just a second too long. But in Paris it's not as commonplace to be recognized.
I'm a designer. I make clothes and bags and shoes. I have a job that involves making creative choices, but I'm not a divinely inspired human being like an artist!
I don't think there is ever a wrong time for a polka dot.
I think there is something about luxury - it's not something people need, but it's what they want. It really pulls at their heart.
My grandmother was amazing. She completely believed in me and was very encouraging. She would go to the supermarket or the butcher or wherever and tell people, 'My grandson is going to be the next Calvin Klein.'
For so many years, I felt so insecure, so inferior, and I still have those moments, but I have a newfound confidence since I got in shape and changed my diet.
Staring up at the sky on a bright, sunny day makes me dream and gives me ideas.
