I don't consider myself a trendsetter.
I try to set trends.
I pick up on styles, way before they get popular, pretty much before young kids do. I see 'em coming.
I think a lot of people look to me as a sort of lifestyle icon.
A good model can advance fashion by ten years.
Anna Wintour is the most powerful woman in the global fashion industry, the first lady of fashion. She's a politician; I'm a stylist. They are two very different jobs.
I know how influential I am over my fans and followers. I feel like everything I do, my hair color, my makeup, I always start these huge trends, and I don't even realize what I'm capable of.
I don't think I've ever been a fashion item, I don't think I was as a player.
Artists can most definitely control the culture of fashion. Kids and different fans look up to us for dressing pointers.
I never saw myself as trend-setting.
It's always good to be a trendsetter.
I am shocked and deeply saddened by McQueen's death. He was a genius, and his talent was second to none. Like many others, I always cited him as a hugely inspirational leader of world fashion. He will be greatly missed.
I've been blessed to be one of those guys who's looked at as a fashion-forward type of guy.
I urge everyone to be trendsetters for Azza Suleiman. Let's make it one fashion which everyone will want to follow.
The Red Dean of Fashion
Referring to Secretary of State Dean Acheson:
I am proud of the fact that people consider me a style icon.
I stand out because I'm usually the first to create a trend or make an existing trend unique in my own way. Plus I look and sound different then most people on the Internet and have the most recognizable lips in cyberspace.
