Jonathan Anderson Quotes

For a long time I have been thinking about affordable fashion - you can be disappointed when not so many people can wear your stuff.

I'm not interested in making clothes that are not accessible.

Fashion today is available to everybody in a way that it's never been before: you've got every designer you've ever heard of working for H& or Target. That's fantastic.

It's easy to design expensive products. But there's that product democracy that I believe very strongly in to make something affordable for almost anybody that would want to use it.

It is so great that fashion is not a question of price, and it can be more accessible to everyone interested in fashion.

Talking about the democratization of fashion is just one of the many trite things people say these days.

I don't believe that fashion should exclude people - I have always been about making it accessible to everyone.

It's for all the women who embrace my aesthetic, but can't afford a Vera Wang dress. If women can get anything out of it - a little bit of me or a lot of me, that's what's important.

It's just really important I think for fashion to be affordable, because everyone should have the opportunity to wear cute things and be happy and comfortable in what they are wearing. That's definitely how I like to shop and how I like to think about clothes and fashion.

What I love about Tadashi is that he isn't a designer that designs only for a double-zero. He designs for double-Ds, you know? Women of all shapes and sizes can wear him.

People want to express themselves - that's what fashion is for. You can go to Target and get something that Rodarte designed for $34, but would you want to go buy the higher version for $3,400? I think most people would say no.

I wanted the collection for Target to reinterpret all the must-haves of Stella McCartney for winter and to make my designs more accessible to a wider audience in Australia.

I think it's in my mind, and it's driven me my entire life, and it is to offer customers tasteful clothes at good value, meaning it lets the world - or more of the world - afford to dress well.

Not everyone can be successful selling fashion at $25,000 for a wedding outfit. Certain designers are able to do that. And there is only a certain amount of consumers who can do that. The real opportunity is in that $25 garment.

I'm a populist. I'm the people's designer... It's important that there are price points that allow people in who maybe don't have the ability to have higher-ticket items - but they can still have something very emblematic of the collection.

If you want to go high-end, that's great, but my dream has always been to make fashion affordable enough so you're not limited by your budget.

It's much easier to create a high-end bag than a mass market bag that everyone can afford.

When you think of H&M, you're thinking of something that's accessible to a broad range of people, perhaps far broader than most of these beautiful shows.

Fashion doesn't look good only on models; it can look good on different people of different ages and different body shapes.

I am always interested in designing things that have a great price point attached to it.

I tend to gravitate toward Proenza Schouler and Alexander Wang. Their designs are accessible and easy.

I'm not trying to set the world on fire; I just want to make really beautiful clothes that women want to wear, can afford, and can really see themselves in.

People shouldn't have to spend a lot of money to get high-quality clothing.

Design is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer. So my being able to reach the masses was something that meant a great deal to me - especially for women who could never wear Vera Wang.

My dresses are very reasonably priced, for dresses that are cut on the body.
