I think so much of what we learn when we get older is being comfortable in our own skin and learning what looks good, and not being so trend-centric.
It's very interesting, the dynamics of popularity. When you do something all the time, you don't worry about whether it's trendy or not.
Wear what suits you best, rather than following trends, and create your own style... I go with a feeling or emotion and don't necessarily plan.
I believe someone should be able to dress according to the mood they're in. It shouldn't be forced and you shouldn't have to follow a trend.
I could never change the overall feel of my music. That's why people like me - I don't follow trends, and I don't follow crowds.
I want to make the music that people remember, and it doesn't need a trend; it doesn't need to be constantly hyped. There's no time period for it. That's the type of music I want to make.
I'm not a fashion victim, and I don't closely follow trends. I dress the way I feel comfortable because, at the end of the day, you have to be comfortable.
I do music based upon who I like and who I think has the potential to win. I don't really judge them by "Oh somebody is hot right now". If I think the music is dope and I think the potential is there, I want to do it.
When a record company looks at me I'm very hard to market, I don't really fit anywhere, It's hard to get me on the air, and I'm hard to demography, but! because of that I'm not subject to trends like you pointed out.
Ralph Lauren... Ralph is somebody that doesn't change with trends and has just kept it up and gotten better and better. That's what we aspire to, without getting boring.
All my work at Armani is based primarily on my personal vision of style, and while I differentiate between the look and mood of my various labels, I am never overly concerned with being 'on trend.'
Be non-trend-driven, and explore, be creative and take risks as an artist and as a cultural communicator.
I don't follow trends. I make each cake for a particular wedding, or event.
I like the idea of not looking at trends, not being driven by them. I like what I like and that's it.
Being one step ahead of a fashion trend is not so important to me. What matters is to always forge ahead.
For me able to do the records I want to do and not have to worry about this producer or that producer or that trend, I'm not really interested in that.
