Quote

A man should never wear shorts in the city. Flip-flops and shorts in the city are never appropriate. Shorts should only be worn on the tennis court or on the beach.

I am great at delegating when someone is doing great work. The problem - and this sounds terrible - is that there are very few people who are strong enough for you to be able to delegate to.

Women are objectified in our culture. And more and more, it takes a great deal of confidence, especially as a woman, to break the mold. You know, you're afraid that you're going to covered in a magazine as a fashion don't. That's why you see all these girls on the red carpet looking the same.

Dressing well is a kind of good manners, if you ask me. When you're standing in a room, your effect is the same as a chair's effect, or a sculpture's. You're part of someone's view, you're part of that world, and so you should dress well. I find it's a show of respect to try to put on your best face and look as good as you can.

Second-guess [myself]? Yes, I do. I question everything I do every step of the way. Once I make the decision I'm almost blinded by believing in it, and then I usually hate everything I've done.

I enjoy the speed of fashion. I love doing different things and I think I still have something valid to say in fashion.

I know one day I'll be irrelevant. No matter how hard you try there is a cultural moment, but eventually that window's gone, your time on Earth is finished, and you might as well leave. I could absolutely die tomorrow - I would not care. I feel like I've lived, I feel like I've had a great life.

You can't fake anything. If you're honest and true and you love something, and you put that energy into it, people can usually feel it on the other side.

There aren't many strong or charismatic candidates today, because many people can't withstand the scrutiny.

L.A. is my American city.

At home, off-duty, I wear T-shirts from Fruit of the Loom - but I have them tailored.

You always notice a facelift on a woman. It's a tightness around the ears, and the scar is usually inside the ears. If I suspect it's been done, I usually move around until I can see it. But with a man, it actually pulls your beard and your sideburns back, and that's what's so strange.

In another life I would love to be a cosmetic surgeon because it’s architectural. You know, you are trying to figure out where the seams go. Can I do it in one piece like Halston? Can you formaldehyde DNA?

I am not a person who is about reality. I am about enhanced reality.

I'm a pretty calm person. That came from living in Italy for a long time. Nothing works, nothing is on time. You have to learn to deal with it.

I am a perfectionist. This job is a total ego thing in a way. To be a designer and say, 'This is the way they should dress this is the way their homes should look this is the way the world should be.' But then, that's the goal: world domination through style.

I am one of those people who isn’t great at anything, but I’m pretty good at most things.

You have to be passionate, you have to be engaged and you have to be contributing to the world.

Banking types should take their cue from Gordon Gekko. Or pick the best-looking banker in their firm and copy him.

It's really about putting that sort of quality and beauty back into our life.
