Mickey Drexler Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Mickey Drexler:

I don't buy art. I'd rather buy a beautiful location or a beautiful site than buy art. A beautiful home is like owning a beautiful painting, except you can live in it.

Apple has beautiful design, beautiful product, incredibly functional. But mostly, it's about picking product, getting behind it, marketing it, and introducing it to a customer. What they've done just inspires me.

I find, in merchandising and design and creative, a business school degree isn't particularly helpful.

Steve Jobs, if he had lived, was gonna design an iCar. I think cars have an extraordinary opportunity for cool design.

I grew up in the Bronx. I used to remember going to all these fancy stores in Manhattan to run errands or whatever, and I felt intimidated, like they did not talk to me because I was from the Bronx. I never want anyone to be intimidated by fashion. Fashion is fun or, at least, should be.

First, as I've always said, it all starts with product, which means having the right assortment, styles, and fits. Second is price, where we strive to offer the best quality, style, and design at a fair value. This is critically important, given the highly promotional environment we are operating in. And third, traffic.

I've yet to see a correlation in my industry between great social media and great numbers.

Gap was essentially the American wardrobe that was well-priced, and it was attractive, and it was happy, and it had great color, and it has jeans, and I think we did the same with Old Navy. And I think we do the same with J.Crew at a much higher level, Madewell at another level.

I like someone who's focused and can tell me what they've done well and not well and who's very open, honest, and self-aware.

You have to build a team, but someone's got to lead, and someone's got to be unpopular at times.

Every single day, I'm curious about everything. Curiosity is finding answers to things.

We buy and sell goods. We buy low and sell higher - that's what we all do to make a profit. But I consider a merchant someone who has a certain intuition and instinct, and - very important - knows how to run a business, knows the numbers.

Mickey Drexler

I like to prove things wrong.

Mickey Drexler

If you get a pant that fits the woman, as all women know, you get a loyal customer for life.

I didn't like the name 'personal shopper.' That makes it sound like too much of a commodity and not personal enough.

Mickey Drexler

I'm an agent of change all day long, and I want to meet other people like that.

I don't size up their grades or their board scores. Because in America today, that's just an advantage certain people have. I size up the give and take, the speed of thinking, what I perceive as ambition. I say, 'Tell me about your high school jobs.' And I love people who worked in coffee shops who were waiters and waitresses.

Mickey Drexler

The No. 1 thing is the product. The goods have to be good, but I care about how you feel about it.

Mickey Drexler

I'm always looking over my shoulder, needing to stay ahead of the game.

It is our job as always to focus on what we can control in the business.

People put 'study abroad' on their resume. I actually like when they don't study abroad because that means they aren't entitled.

When I started at Bloomingdale's as a buyer, Alexander's was a discounter across the street, and every time Alexander's had something that we had at Bloomingdale's, we'd have to meet price. I didn't really want to be in a business where I had no control over my inventory, the value of my inventory.
