I rarely go into a shop on holiday, because fashion and design are what I'm involved in every day. I need another world.
I'm a designer, and I think if you work in fashion, you have to give people fantasy.
My favorite days are the ones where I deal only with my own team, design, marketing, working on the next accessories collection.
I don't know whether the universe contains any evidence of intelligent design, but I can assure you that thousands of everyday products do not.
User-centered design means understanding what your users need, how they think, and how they behave - and incorporating that understanding into every aspect of your process.
It's a very strange thing for a designer to say, but one of the things that really irritates me in products is when I'm aware of designers wagging their tails in my face.
About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.
From the outset, MoMA followed the Bauhaus's strict prohibition against design that even hinted at the decorative, a prejudice that skewed the pioneering museum's view of Modernism for decades.
I am interested in the idea of 'taste.' And by 'taste,' I mean opinion, inspiration and the craft of creating a personality through fabric and design.
I want to design my own clothing line. I'm very into fashion. It's something I really want to focus on when swimming is over.
If you have to design something, choose things that we need as opposed to frivolous things that we might just want for a month or two for bragging rights.
I didn't think that personal style had much value in graphic design.
For me, if I can design beautiful things that have the price be lower, I am thrilled.
I do not discriminate about size. I design dresses to accentuate a woman's positives, whether you are a size 0 or a size 3X.
When clients come to my design agency and say 'I want to be the Apple of this or that,' we say 'Okay, are you ready to be the Steve Jobs?' Few are up to the task.
I just think it's great to show a gown that's $8,000 and a shoe that's, like, $25 - but still look fabulous together.
I think showing heroes as fallible helps us and reminds us that we are ourselves fallible and no man is perfect but we can still achieve great things.
The riot isn't seen in the movie, but it is alluded to. He has this one speech that gives a great sense of texture and paints a picture of what was happening in Harlem then.
Sunglasses are great, but I always feel a bit pretentious wearing sunglasses. I mean, I do love to wear them.
I literally in the New York flea market - just when I was despairing of ever having a great serendipitous find - found a 1926 Chanel.
I think someone like Carmen Electra would be great in 'Peepshow.' Really, though, I think anyone who can sing and dance would be great.
