Remain true to yourself and your philosophy.

Anyhow, even though I have this home theater, I love going out to the movies. Movies are meant to be experienced together.
Giorgio Armani
Image
I've always worked. I have always been too responsible. But I don't know how to live any other way. I think that this discipline was also demanded of me by my work.
Giorgio Armani
Image
The goal I seek is to have people refine their style through my clothing without having them become victims of fashion.

The secret is to remain true to your aesthetic vision, so that people can see that you really believe passionately in what you are doing. That way, they can relate to your style. At the same time, you experiment-you try new things.

I am impressed with America's capacity for change, and their ability to bring someone as inspirational as Barack Obama into the White House.

I wanted to dress the woman who lives and works, not the woman in a painting.

Sports will always be important in global culture, and so fashion, as a reflection of cultural trends, will always incorporate influences from sports.

Jeans represent democracy in fashion.

I've always thought of the T-shirt as the Alpha and Omega of the fashion alphabet, ... The White T.
