fool looks projects
Never, ever, ever wear anything you are uncomfortable in. Because that is what you'll project: 'I look like a fool.'
design important finals
Advertising is, of course, important because advertise is the final design. It's the last layer that speaks to the customer, that tells them what you have.
summer sunset light
Skin bathed in summer sunset light is sultry and sublime. Every woman looks irresistible in its glow-relaxed and sensual.
perfection personality strive
I probably do have an obsessive personality, but striving for perfection has served me well
fun ifs
If it's not fun, I'm not going to do it.
fashion thinking different
I enjoy the speed of fashion. I love doing different things and I think I still have something valid to say in fashion.
white black important
One of the most important things is to figure out what your look is — I don't wear this black suit-white shirt combination all the time to try and be iconic — but because I'm most comfortable in this. Cary Grant never turned up in a pink jacket and hot pants and I don't feel the need to experiment when I know I like dressing this way.
thinking eras standards
I think the 1970s will always be the decade for me. Obviously, I grew up in that era, but the beauty standard was touchable, kissable.
world dinner judgmental
I'm very aware that when my friends and I sit around over dinner these days, the conversation invariably turns to how crass the world has become. Tweeting? It's one of the silliest things ever.
fashion cities shoes
London is one of the few cities where people still dress properly and fashion exists. Every day I see women who've thought about their outfits. They've picked out the bag, put on proper shoes. ... Do you know how rare it is in parts of America to actually see 'an outfit'? France? I don't want to be anti-French but there isn't a more unattractive group of people on the streets.
imagine
You have to love what you do to the point that you can't imagine doing anything else with your life.
thinking black dresses
I love black dresses. I think everyone should own a lot, but black dresses don't sell online because on the computer they don't read like anything.
thinking silence noise
A few times in my life I've had moments of clarity where the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think.
inspirational important stuff
From the time we're born until we die, we're kept busy with artificial stuff that isn't important.
