As much as I'd like to think I'm a really good designer, I'm average.
I love Ralph Lauren, just as a designer. I still think he could make some better sizes with his clothes, but I like the idea of his classic American style.
I like what looks good on me and, as a result, I don't find myself drawn to one specific designer all the time.
I've always cared about fashion and what I look like. I don't like to spend a lot of money on designer clothes, but I do like to look good.
I became a set designer for opera. I'm a great opera buff, I love classical music, and I needed a time-out.
We've had the same set designer and the same crew in many cases since 1972.
Designing is always on the mind of a designer, and as I was saying it's a sort of digestive process, so I usually keep it to myself unless I'm collaborating with someone because explaining all the things that are going on in your head can be quite exhausting, especially in the early stages of a project.
No one is an inventor in the fashion business. Designers recreate fashion.
I'm gonna be the first hip-hop designer and because of that, I'm gonna be bigger than Walmart.
Every human being is a designer
Go get a job. Whether it’s working as a designer or working in a restaurant and then doing your own thing in your own time, it’s a reality of life. In the end it’s going to be helpful to you and so many others.
As a designer you have to just do whatever you want to do. The second I came to terms with that, it transformed my work.
The main thing that 99designs is about is choice. Its a fantastic model that eliminates risk for small business owners and puts designers on equal footing.
I don't like to treat a piece of clothing like an object of art because I don't consider myself an artist. I'm a designer.
Everywhere I go, I can't wear everything a designer creates. I'm a little more gritty.
I'm an unbelievable designer. I don't know how I know and just do these things. I just start sketching and then I just know the colors and I always know the forecast. I know green and purple are going to be hot. I was born to be a designer. I worked hard to be a tennis player, I don't work hard to be a designer.
Designers send me clothes I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing.
If you are a designer, sometimes it is better not to delegate, because someone pays money for something that you designed, so it should be exactly the way you want it, exactly the way you would have chosen it. People call me a control freak, and I say, "Well, my name is on the shoe. " It means the heel needs to be the way I want it and not the way somebody else wants it, and the toe needs to be exactly the way I want it, and the fabric and the material have to be exactly the way I want it. It is not a democracy - it is a dictatorship.
The job of the designer is to make things understandable, usable, accessible, enjoyable. . . important to a public, that involves the public.
I don't have a favourite designer because I feel every designer offers something different and special, but I do really like Alexander Wang, Burberry, Stella McCartney and Balmain.
