lying feelings hiding
I'm not good at hiding my feelings. I'm also not good at lying. I'm very open about everything.
girl years vintage
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.
giving comfort give-me
Awkwardness gives me great comfort.
fashion hate thinking
The thing I most love and hate about fashion is that it changes all the time. But I don't think I or anyone else can singlehandedly get rid of hooker style. Popular taste isn't great by definition. It's just popular.
hurt phones cells
I don’t throw cell phones. I don’t hurt people, I only hurt myself.
sexy cooking kitchen
Both my partner and I did not get into cooking so that we could wear ugly chef's coats and stuff. We dress sexy in the kitchen.
fashion believe style
I don't believe in fashion dictatorship, and I find that anybody who follows the dictates of fashion is a bit lost. I'm excited by style, not so much by fashion.
cutting thinking people
The red carpet doesn't interest me. I think people become all the same; it's like everyone posing from the three-quarter angle in some low-cut, fitted dress; it's all the same.
art people looks
There is a small world of people who are very interested in contemporary art and a slightly bigger world of people who look at contemporary art. But then there is a much larger world that doesn't realise how influential art is on things that they actually look at.
fashion creative six-months
When you see a fashion show, you see those seven minutes of what was six months of tedious work of, you know, going up an inch and down an inch, changing it from one shade of red to another shade of red. So it's the same as any creative process. The result is what we see, but the process is really labor intensive and work.
dresses forget t-shirt
The best dresses are like t-shirts - you just put them on and forget about them.
fashion art flawless
You can go to Graff and buy a diamond that's flawless. You aren't going to be able to buy the same diamond at Fortunoff, but it's still a diamond you can enjoy. If fashion can allow you to have the Chanel mystique through a lipstick, then why shouldn't art allow you to have that through a sweatshirt that says 'Cremaster' on it?
birth jacob company
I am Marc Jacobs by birth, but we are Marc Jacobs by the company that we built.
ebay computer knows
I wouldn't know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it.
