I'm honored and thankful to be partnering with the prestigious CFDA as one of the men's wear ambassadors for fashion week. My interest in fashion is only matched by my love for music, and I'm blessed to be given an opportunity to learn about some of my favorite designers from a firsthand look at their latest collections.
Suits change a lot - the wide lapel thing, the fashion trends, the trousers change.
Men's wear is all about tailoring.
I never considered the clothing business in college. But my father was a manufacturer of men's wear in the Northeast and wanted to investigate manufacturing in Asia. In 1972 he sent me to Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong for four months. I'm convinced it was his way of getting me into business, rather than letting me be a hippie.
The thing I learned about suits is that they only fit you for about a week after you've had them tailored.
When you do men's wear, it's less about thinking outside the box than about pushing the walls of the box outward. Men want to be evolutionary, not revolutionary.
If I've got an event coming up, I might buy myself a new suit. I prefer wearing suits to dresses - I reckon I've got about 15.
Nothing earth-shattering has happened in men's fashion. How much can you do with men's clothes?
Macy's has severed ties with Donald Trump and no longer will carry his men's wear collection. From now on, men who want to look like Donald Trump will have to hunt and kill their own hair piece.
Every man needs a good pair of jeans. It's the ultimate wardrobe staple because most of us wear them more than anything else.
I love a good suit.
A lot of my girlfriends like baggy oversized stuff and put on menswear already. And I also wanted something that my boyfriends - my gay and straight buddies - could wear. I wanted something for everyone.
It's not so much the color of suit as it is about the fit, cut, style, and, of course, attitude you have when wearing it.
I am going to get political on you. Because I am the most shallow person in the world, my mission is to see men's formal wear change a little bit. It is too rigid! Everybody looks like a penguin!
Thom Browne is, in my opinion, one of the great minds in men's wear.
A well-tailored suit is important - and I don't like wearing belts with mine - it should be tailored to your body.
We have to thank the members of the Romantic movement for the sober colours of suits. It was their love of the Gothic that put us in grey and black but the suit stuck.
