people regards sure
As a designer, I think you just have to make sure you know what you want and stay true to it. You need to have conviction and really just want to make people think in regards to doing interesting things.
brooks depends draw work
Every collaboration I do, I feel like I've benefitted in so many different ways; it all depends on the organization. With Moncler, there is such a heritage to the brand and to the way that they work. With Brooks Brothers, in the same way, having the heritage to draw from in that collaboration is invaluable.
collection stay whatever
I think my collection is doing really well, but collaborating is actually just a nice exercise in doing something different. For example, I do things very differently for Moncler that I wouldn't specifically do for me. For me, I can do whatever I want. With other companies, you have to stay responsible to them.
clothing good obama sure
Obama does look good, but he could look better. The most important thing for politicians is to keep their clothes really simple and make sure their clothing actually fits.
key shorts suits tips wear wing
Seersucker and khaki suits are the key to looking put-together in the summer. I also wear shorts year-round. And I would never say never, but I don't wear sandals. With shorts, it's wing tips and tennis socks.
across cab courteous door men push revolving slide toward unless women
Men don't know enough about being courteous toward women. You should get into a cab before a woman so she doesn't have to slide across the seat. And you should always go first into a revolving door so she doesn't have to push - unless it's moving, then let her go first.
bad people
When people have too many choices, they make bad choices.
sort typical
I always like playing with some sort of typical convention or idea and turning it over.
bankers believe family gets
I come from a family of bankers and lawyers, and they joked that they can't believe I'm the one that gets to go to the White House.
dad good last looked somehow
My dad was an attorney. The last thing he ever thought about was clothes, and yet somehow he always looked good.
I've always been drawn to the American style in the late '50s and '60s.
love tailored
Doing womenswear is challenging, and it's exciting. I approach it the same way as I approach menswear, so it's in a tailored way, and I do my thing. I love doing it.
home
Nothing is worse than a home that is too perfect and done. You have to live in it.
along ironing jackets wear
Nothing should be perfect. I think that's the most important thing. I do wear my jackets almost exaggeratedly short. So that's probably the most mussed up. Along with, you know, not ironing my shirt.
