A Man In A Well Tailored Suit

I Love Fashion Because It's Plugged Into The Zeitgeist, So It's Always Changing. Thirty Years Ago, I Could Never Have Predicted I'd Be Where I Am Today, So I Know I Don't Know What's Going To Happen In The Next Five Years Or The Next 20 Years. I Have My Predictions—i'm Sure Technology Will Continue To Have An Impact On Fashion, Particularly The Way People Shop. I Think Quality Will Be Increasingly Important—we're Moving Away From A Time Of Fast Fashion. But Really, The Only Constant In Fashion Is That You Must Keep Moving Forward, Otherwise You'll Be Left Behind.

Fashion Is Not Like The Movie Business, Where You Can Have Two Great Projects In A Row And Then Say, "you Know What? I'm Going To Take Off Eight Months." What Am I Going To Tell People? Wear Last Year's Clothes?

Clothes Are Like A Good Meal, A Good Movie, Great Pieces Of Music.

People Always Think That Designers Hate Each Other. And We're Certainly A Competitive Lot, But We Also Enjoy Each Other's Company. No One Else Knows What You're Going Through Other Than Another Designer.

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. The French Are Not Afraid Of Their Luxury. Americans Can Be So Puritanical And Think, "that's My Special-occasion Bag." Whereas, For A French Woman, It's Her Everyday Bag.
