I have always had an interest in fashion and design and I appreciate style and timelessness within my footwear and accessories both on and off the court.
Ever since I was young I loved making things and being part of the design process.
When I arrived at Harvard, I wanted to design a course in political theory that would have interested me, back when I was started out, in a way that the standard things didn't.
I'm completely taken and impressed by the planning authority of Singapore and its Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). It's the most cutting-edge agency in the world. They have very effective guidelines for development, and they review design as it e...
I didn't grow up thinking I'd be a decorator. Design is my greatest passion, and it naturally just pulled me down the path. Same with TV. Being famous or having a show was never the motivation. I got a call and was swept up by the challenge of that f...
There has to be the popcorn genre element, or I don't engage the same way. I like action and vehicle design and guns and computer graphics as much as I like allegory. It's a constant balancing game. I want audiences to be on this rollercoaster that f...

Uniqlo as a company has always developed new fabrics and is always trying to be innovative. The design is simple, so the fabric is important.

I describe the design process as like the tip of the iceberg. What you don't see is the long haul: all the endless auditing and things like that.

I was obsessed with fashion when I was young. I thought fashion meant fashion design, and I thought I wanted to be a designer at some point.

I brought a lot of my own pieces of clothes to the design room when I first met with the design team just so they could see what my style was like.
I always wanted to be a filmmaker and became one through sheer single-mindedness. I came to filmmaking from a background in graphic design. I went to film school at Newcastle Polytechnic.
When we were in the design studio I always was pretending like I was in a closet asking my friend before I step out into the world what do I look like? And everybody wants that honest friend before they go and go to dinner or go to an event.
I am extremely involved in the design process of both my brands, Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960.
English is taking over the world. I just wrote a piece about it. And it's not by design. The United States dominates because it's the biggest market.
But active programming consists of the design of new programs, rather than contemplation of old programs.
