Zitat des Tages von Chris Benz:
I particularly like Facebook because it straddles the gap between seeing people and not seeing them.
Designers and musicians are primed to keep thinking forward. Once an album or collection launches, you can only think about doing the next one.
Let me tell you, I'm not sure if America runs on donuts, but I sure do! Nothin' like a little simple sugar icing to get the blood pumping at 9:00 A.M.
While at Parsons, I interned at Marc Jacobs, which was great. When I graduated, I went to work at J. Crew; that was also really great.
I have specific playlists for arrivals in different cities. Tokyo skews new wave, Paris more jazz, and New York is Top 40.
I feel like girls should dress down a little bit on the holidays, even though the instinct is to get really dressed up.
I interned with Marc Jacobs in college, then worked at J. Crew. I learned a lot about how to fit clothes and what kinds of things sell and why.
I feel like everyone should dye their hair a weird color. If you hate it, you can just dye it back.
I always knew I wanted to start my own line. Nights and weekends, I would work on my business plan.
I'd call my work 'instinctual design.' I like to find the spirit of a piece that defies time, age, and occasion. My clothes give the wearer the chance to develop their own voice within a wardrobe, and I think of them as curators of their personal style.
I went to Parsons. American sportswear was my education, and that is what is important to me.
There is a lack of humor in fashion. To me, it's always been the fun, cool industry to work in, and I always wanted people to be on my side and see how much fun we really have behind the scenes.
I used to sit in bed at night and flip through design-school catalogs. I found out that Parsons accepted a small number of high school juniors, so I applied my sophomore year and got in.
