Marco Zanini Quotes

Sometimes you listen to a piece of music that inspires a collection. You listen to the music, which creates the mood, which creates the clothes.

Fashion is a great love of mine. I'm used to looking really hard for clothes that I like and I am really fortunate to have an amazing team of talented artists who work day and night with me to create our visions and make them come alive.

Every time I design clothes, I'm making a movie.

Personally, I have had sometimes moments where I thought my idea behind the idea of a collection - the concept maybe - something that we don't see at the end on the catwalk, I think the way it was, the genesis in my mind, was probably artistic, an artistic approach.

I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era. I think of people I want to dress when I design.

After working with clothes for so long, it seemed right to design them.

I like the gritty parts of fashion, the design, the studio, the pictures.

What's becoming very obvious to me is that fashion is art.

Imagining themes that are specific to coating lines, shapes, shades, thoughts, the decoration of our homes and the objects of utility or pure pleasure, adapting its purpose in a material-specific way to metal or wood, marble or fabric - it is, without any doubt, an absorbing occupation.

I always look at the work of fashion designers as if they were art.

I make clothes; women make fashion.

The size thing is not some gimmick or attention-getting trick but a genuine undercurrent of the work. Frank Gehry for instance likes to imagine his buildings as sculptures. I like to imagine my sculptures as architectural.

Truthfully, the hardest part about fashion is not the vision or one great idea, but the execution of each aspect.

I realised I've got quite a talent for coming up with ideas for design. I've got so many ideas about fashion.

I brought a lot of my own pieces of clothes to the design room when I first met with the design team just so they could see what my style was like.

I'm an artist, and I love the visual. Fashion is high art sometimes and hack work other times, but it's something worthy of study and love.

I wish you didn't have to design so often. Try to do quality and cut down on quantity. I think fashion is very, very important.

I think some people would love to be able to make the clothes I make - and of course, I do influence them, but they keep simplifying, and minimalism doesn't quite work.

For me, my way to think about everything in fashion is a very baroque way.

I very much like Christopher Kane. He actually did a work placement with me, and you could spot his talent straight away.

Men aren't really conscious about what they wear. They are more interested in the fit and comfort and they don't want to wear anything that's too outlandish, so I think it will take me some time to start a menswear line.

I create a look, and I create a style.

I think fashion and artistry go hand in hand.

An artist's initial broad stroke is always most impactful, and obsessively adding layer upon layer of paint to fill in details often diminishes the painting's aura. When an aura is lost, it is impossible to get back.

I like the challenge of dressing ladies in lots of different things.
