moving thinking people
As a designer, I'm supposed to be provoking people's reactions, and getting people to see things differently. I think more of us should be doing this. Because yeah, maybe guys are not gonna want to wear my stuff, but they'll think that they can maybe wear something a little bit more than what they've been wearing. That's the only way things move forward.
simple men cities
Every man should own a navy cashmere jacket with gold buttons, a grey suit, black shoes shoes for the city, brown shoes for elsewhere. Everything else should be simple and really well made.
design important true-to-yourself
It is so important to be really true to yourself in design, and I am.
inspiration men ideas
If you’re constantly open to inspiration, it will come to you. The worst thing a man can do is pressure himself into an idea.
jeans t-shirt shirts
I feel like jeans and a T-shirt have become Establishment. Everyone’s dressed down. So actually putting on a jacket is the anti-Establishment stance.
stylish
Anyone who is confident in themselves is much more stylish.
ideas looks masculine
An idea that is confident always looks masculine.
anybody business designing lauren ralph respect sustain themselves
Designing is so easy - it's the business that is hard. That's why you really have to respect Ralph Lauren - look at what he's done. Anybody who can sustain themselves should be applauded.
men sexy
I like the idea of men's tailoring on girls. It's very strong and sexy in a non-overt way.
good
I think good tailoring and something that's well-made never gets boring or tiring.
black grey tie white
My uniform: grey suit, white shirt, grey tie and tie bar, grey cardigan and black wingtips.
Some people, when they see my shows, leave saying, 'Who would wear that?'
men thinking perfection
Men shouldn’t try too hard, or think about what they wear too much. I like when there’s something about a look that throws it off a little – perfection is really imperfect.
thinking together too-much
The most uninteresting thing for me is when somebody thinks too much about how they put themselves together.
