Zitat des Tages von L'Wren Scott:
Sometimes I like to watch TV, though I never get to watch any of the shows in real time. I'm a fan of 'Downton Abbey,' 'Boardwalk Empire,' and 'Boss.' There's a British series called 'Luther,' but in England, they think a series means four episodes. And I like 'Mad Men.' Otherwise, it's always good to unwind with a book.
Everyone has this perception that the bloggers, they say horrible things about you and they hide behind their computers where you can't see them.
As a designer, when someone wears my clothes, the biggest compliment I can receive is that the woman looks amazing because my designs have flattered her, not taken over her. I take that philosophy to heart myself each morning when I am getting ready for the day.
I'm always working. I work wherever I am.
When I designed my first house in L.A., I didn't have any money - I did it all on my own. I liked that.
My entertainment was going to the local dollar movie theatre on the weekend, where I watched old black and white movies. If you wanted current movies, you had to drive to the big city.
People often try to disguise televisions. I always think that makes it worse. It is what it is!
I love to see women who are comfortable in their skin and dress to suit their body - that looks fabulous because it's authentic.
There's lots of things you pull out lipstick for.
In the future, I'd like to make jewelry and sell it under my own name. But right now, I've got enough on my plate!
I have a very big family and a lot of friends, and buying presents is one of my favorite things to do.
I don't really measure success by anything other than if I am happy. That is success to me. Am I happy waking up every morning? And despite the challenges of running my own business, do I look forward to going to work? Absolutely.
Although my mother didn't necessarily approve of teenage girls wearing heels, she made an exception for me when I was 14 because she didn't want me to be self-conscious about my height - or to slouch.
I exercise five days a week at home.
After working with clothes for so long, it seemed right to design them.
You don't need to wear Spanx if you buy my clothes. The dress, the trousers, the pencil skirt - they should do the work.
Random things are luxurious to people. It's personal.
I don't have time to be that girl who does the super workout. But I try to be as fit as possible, given my schedule. Even if I do 20 minutes a day, it's better than nothing.
Luxury is a state of mind.
It was always sort of my dream to make handbags and I wanted a handbag that was very sharp, very structured, very tailored... I wanted a bag you could put all of your things in it, you can open it, you could close it, you could hid all your tricks, but it's not all lumpy.
I didn't particularly like being objectified.
Peruvian food is so simple yet amazingly flavored with their traditional spices.
I like a very sexy silhouette, and I like to feel like when you put something on, you zip yourself into it, and you're secure in there.
The modern woman has a modern life, and most of us work. There's no time to change before we go out in the evening, so a dress should always look appropriate for day and night.
It's so important your customer can rely on you for your classics.
I had to learn to sew when I was growing up, because nothing else fitted me.
I don't like to dictate the style to the customer, I believe people give something their own trend.
I've always been very inspired by fashion. I've always been a big fan of style.
I dress for men.
Weirdly, my nickname was Lady. I didn't get Stretch, or Stilts, or Spider Legs - I got Lady. I guess I was always a bit ladylike.
Guys understand a waistline. They understand a silhouette.
If you don't feel good in it, don't wear it. Because it'll never look good. Any hesitation in the fitting room and just walk away.
Every season I try to top myself, and push it a little further.
I usually build my collections on colors and on staples, so when you buy pieces, you are really adding to your wardrobe, and you're getting a new color palette to play with. The clothes are timeless and modern at the same time.
I've never met a woman who thinks they've got a good enough figure - however perfect they look - which is sad, because no one else can see these perceived flaws; they're entirely internal.
You can't believe everything you read. I am only six foot three, by the way.
