Marc Jacobs quotes about
dots polka-dots polka
There is never a wrong time for a polka dot.
nice europe two
It's quite nice to see that I didn't have to change who I was to reach two very different types of people.
nice giving trying
Awkwardness gives me great comfort. I've never been cool, but I've felt cool. I've been in the cool place, but I wasn't really cool - I was trying to pass for hip or cool. It's the awkwardness that's nice.
thought-provoking innovation process
Innovation is an evolutionary process, so it's not necessary to be radical all the time.
comforting everyday world
I love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world.
dresses forget t-shirt
The best dresses are like t-shirts - you just put them on and forget about them.
integrity creativity thinking
Whether it's an $11 flip-flop or a $2 key ring or a $2,000 dress, they're all done with integrity. They're all done with a design sense. As long as the creativity exists, then I don't think it's a sellout. A sellout is putting your name on any piece of crap and then expecting people to buy it because it's got your name on it.
ebay computer knows
I wouldn't know how to find eBay on the computer if my life depended on it.
lunch care attention
The attention toward me is basically because of what we've built as a company. If we built a pile of crap then nobody would care what I ate for lunch.
