art thinking important
I think what's important for myself and anyone else who wants to create a film, or art, is [to] make sure that they have something to say, that they want to share something important, express something important.
fashion goes-on behind-the-scenes
Both film and fashion are businesses where the audience doesn't feel or see the work that goes on behind the scenes.
sexy high-heels pairs
It's hard not to be sexy in a pair of high heels.
inspirational america together
When the youth of America gets together, amazing things happen.
beautiful men clothes
I want to make beautiful clothes for women and men who appreciate detail and quality. The product must be the best but this is almost secondary to the service the customer will receive.
fashion art makeup
Fashion is everything. Art, music, furniture design, graphic design, hair, makeup, architecture, the way cars look - all those things go together to make a moment in time, and that's what excites me.
spiritual fashion too-much
In my early 40s I started to feel that I had neglected the spiritual side of my life. It had always been there, but I'd neglected it. In fashion, that's really easy because we live in the future, and we can place too much importance on material things.
views good-man trying
Dressing well is a kind of good manners, if you ask me. When you're standing in a room, your effect is the same as a chair's effect, or a sculpture's. You're part of someone's view, you're part of that world, and so you should dress well. I find it's a show of respect to try to put on your best face and look as good as you can.
fashion dressing-up good-man
Dressing well is a form of good manners.
thinking perfection sometimes
Perfection is almost an illness with me, but sometimes I have moments where everything is absolutely clear and you can feel, rather than think.
thinking age want
It's funny, our beauty standard has become harder and tougher because we live in a tough age. I don't think anyone wants to walk down the street and feel vulnerable. You want to walk down the street and feel like you're in control.
country new-york kids
When I was a little kid, all I wanted to do was to escape what I thought was the country and get to a city. Probably film and television had influenced me so much, I really thought the key to happiness was living a very artificial life in a penthouse in New York with martini glasses.
fashion artist creating
As a fashion designer, I was always aware that I was not an artist, because I was creating something that was made to be sold, marketed, used, and ultimately discarded.
beautiful clothes want
I just want to make beautiful, glamorous clothes.
