James Turrell Quotes

Fashion is not art. Fashion is a business that requires discipline and attention to detail and very organized systems of logistics and operations and processes. But even with the most smoothly oiled machine to manage the business, without creativity, fashion could not exist.

Marc Jacobs is full of creative people and Louis Vuitton is again a name on the door, a name that has existed for many years but I'm a collaborator there and I bring in other people, other artists and I work with a great creative design team.

There are so many designers that I love, and I'm so lucky that I get to work with so many of them and sometimes spend time with them.

I have my Icy brand, so one day when I do have the time I'll create my own fashion line.

Collectively with my design team we spent time working on the feel, fit and style to ensure the product is not only something I would wear but one which I would be proud to put my name to. I always want to challenge myself and this was such a rewarding experience for me. I'm very happy with the end result and I hope H&M's male customers will be as excited as I am.

I'm lucky that I'm inside the fashion industry and see clothes from a different perspective than the traditional consumer. Being able to curate, edit, and style product to make my own look is a privilege, but something I think men are becoming more aware of how to do.

I interned with Marc Jacobs in college, then worked at J. Crew. I learned a lot about how to fit clothes and what kinds of things sell and why.

My favorite days are the ones where I deal only with my own team, design, marketing, working on the next accessories collection.

First and foremost, I'm a decorator and product designer. Everything I do, the television shows, the books, that comes from the design work. It's what I love.

I'm quite ignorant about fashion and I'm colourblind, so it's all a tad tricky. My only knowledge of that world comes through Christopher Bailey, whom I first met in 2008 when I did a campaign for Burberry that featured musicians, artists, actors and sportsmen.

Dolce & Gabbana is like our child. The editing of a collection before a show is a tough call, as we would like to show everything!

I'm not opposed to doing a fashion line, but I want to make sure it's the right thing and make sure its something people actually want instead of putting out a bunch of stuff that's already been done.

I want to design my own clothing line. I'm very into fashion. It's something I really want to focus on when swimming is over.

I am extremely involved in the design process of both my brands, Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960.

I want to have my own line and collection.

I had a fundamental love of fashion, of products and accessories. I loved the merchandising side of it and understanding how to maximize sales.

When I design a garment or a piece of accessory, the first question I ask myself is, 'Would I wear it?'

As soon as the show is over, I always think, 'How will the woman I design for go forward?' It's so important to start quickly because I can't let her get away.

We have this perceived illusion of what the fashion designer does. As an industry, we make it out that this one individual changes the entire face of the earth. I have never said 'me'; it's always 'we.' I am just the big salesman.

I'd want to start being a creative director of a specific line, like Adidas, for example. If they called me up to collaborate on something, I would do it.

To see how much goes into making a fashion business is quite exciting.

The reason I wanted to work with New Look was that they wanted to stick with one designer and do lots of collections a year.

I still think of myself as a retailer first, but I also know how to make clothes.

One of my first fashion clients was Calvin Klein. We did his first freestanding stores. He was very exact and precise. But talk about high-fashion people who brand themselves!

I may not be in the office as much as I was at the start of the business but when a new range is launched - and we have two, a spring/summer and an autumn/winter collection - each year, all designs come through me first to make sure I am happy with them.
