Zitat des Tages von Nick Wooster:
Camo is almost like a solid. It is the perfect uniform: you can wear camo in any application and it is always right.
Fit and fabric are paramount. If the jacket fits, it doesn't matter what price you paid for it - you will look and feel fantastic.
Clothes and fashion should work in people's lives. Period.
The Japanese are the ultimate students: they analyse things in so much detail... until they have pretty much mastered whatever they are studying.
I got fired from Neiman Marcus and Bergdorfs, and JC Penney didn't work out.
I am probably biased, but I think social media is the great equalizer. It gives everyone a megaphone. Young people who might not have had the platform for exposure can now get their ideas out to a very receptive audience.
A classic fishtail parka, anorak, mackintosh, windbreaker, pea coat, or jean jacket will get you through every season.
I think a lot of gay kids in the midwest or in places not in New York have to overachieve in order to sort of get through the fear of what they're going through.
A man in Tom Ford will develop a nice, long relationship with the brand. Ford is very smart about positioning his product. He's a name that is going to remain huge.
I think that good, great things can come at every price.
Men shop for problem solving. They want something familiar. So if it's a new version of something they understand, they are right there with it and, hopefully, loving it.
There are so many more people in Tokyo than in New York, but it's pristine. It's so organized, and yet the address system is in complete chaos.
Getting dressed, for me, is like a window to my soul.
I like clothes. When I realized as a child that you had to wear them, and it takes the same amount of effort to look good or not, I figured out long ago that I only wanted stuff that I loved and looked good in.
Bloggers and stores and publications and brands and houses all need to sort of take a deep breath and relax because no one is going away. The brands aren't going away. The designers, bloggers, publications aren't going away.
If someone tells me I can't wear something, that's the moment when I want to wear it.
It's a love-and-hate relationship with New York. Much like Hong Kong, it's expensive, crowded, the weather is not so nice. But New York is home, and I love New York.
The only pair of trousers a guy needs are grey flannel.
I did this the hard way. I have worked my entire life in this business, and I've done the work - from being on the selling floor to learning to speak Italian to work with manufacturers with John Bartlett. I've done it all. I've paid my dues.
I'm not just a designer; I'm not just a retailer. I'm not just a street style person, whatever that is. I can instead do a little bit of everything.
For me, a Thom Browne suit is an investment.
My face doesn't look the same way it did at 39. My body doesn't look the same way it did at 39.
Great product trumps all. You can have the biggest marketing budget, the biggest show, a perfect merchandising plan, but at the end of the day, it doesn't mean anything if the design and quality of the product you are offering is not compelling.
Everyone looks better in clothes that skim the body. Items that fit properly make you look better than wearing something oversize.
To me, a Harris Tweed jacket is the kind of thing you should be able to have in your closet years from now - possibly it was your father's jacket or, even better, your grandfather's jacket.
I've decided I'm no longer pulling sweaters over my head. Maybe that's sort of an old man thing, but if it is, I'm there.
Some people are born with a caul. I was born with a jacket.
I never wear a black belt with a black shoe. It's always the opposite: a brown shoe with a black belt.
I carry both a Blackberry and an iPhone. But for my job, the iPhone is essential because of picture-taking and because of picture sharing.
To me, how you dress is a way to show you care.
I'm a kid from Kansas, so J.C. Penney was where I got all my clothes from kindergarten to around 7th grade.
I'm probably one of the most fearful persons in the world, but not when it comes to getting dressed.
I feel like the menswear blogger is a special breed, and by that, I mean they really have brought menswear out of the closet and into the public discourse where guys are not afraid to talk about style, dressing, clothes.
I guess I know how to dress myself, and that's probably the only thing I can do, so it's nice that somebody notices.
I was 39 when I did, essentially, a three-quarter sleeve on my left arm. It was very late in life, which is good: I can't think of any decision I made at 19 that I'd be happy with at 39 or even now, at 51.
I actually come from a long line of barbers.
