I am no fashion diva - I grew up on the beaches in South Africa and am a nature girl that spends a lot of time outdoors. Fashion speaks to me through an occasion.
I understand the power of the Internet, but I can't say that I'm there. I'm old-fashioned and living in a different century. I don't know. I just don't really understand the craze of it.
Religion may become a fashion as well as anything else; and, when it does become so, it has as little to do, in those who thus hold it, with the heart and the character as any other fashion.
I actually used to smile a lot in pictures. I think I only stopped smiling when I got into fashion. Fashion stole my smile!
I love to go to casinos with my wife. I play poker, and she's an old-fashioned slot queen. She even has a visor.
I think I was the first to show that a designer could be like a rock star, that people should love your fashion but also put your name together with your fashion.
Fashion is silly. Perhaps I should say fashion in general is silly. But then everything is, in general. If you talk about music in general, it's silly; about magazines, in general, they're silly.
Music has shaped men's fashion, and transposed in a playful and witty manner its riding or military heritage. It is difficult to figure out who leads, but music and fashion are connected genetically.
I think that at heart I am an old-fashioned Chinese, really I am.
To me, fashion is like a mirror. It's a reflection of the times. And if it doesn't reflect the times, it's not fashion. Because people aren't gonna be wearing it.
I don't try to be in fashion; I don't try to follow trends. You just end up out of fashion that way.
Basically, my idea and explorations on fashion have not changed; however, I believe I'm going state-of-the-art on fashion.
You have to deal with the fashion egos. You know, there is a lot. It shouldn't be treated that seriously because fashion is only making dresses to make women look beautiful. We're not inventing anything new.
In fashion, women have more sensitivity, more sense of the body, so they know how things fit and feel. Yet there are not many women who study fashion. It's ridiculous.
American women often fall into the trap of, 'Oh, these are my weekend clothes. These are my work clothes. This is what I wear at night.' It's so old-fashioned.
Women often don't want to admit that they like fashion. And yet fashion enthralls everyone, from the taxi driver to the mega-intellectual. I have often asked myself why this is. I don't know the answer.
Each of our acts makes a statement as to our purpose.
No statement should be believed because it is made by an authority.
A meaningless statement remains meaningless no matter how often it's heard.
But every historical statement and legitimization itself moves within a certain relation to history.
I think 'Make love, not war' might be the most profound statement that's ever been made.
