Zitat des Tages von Oleg Cassini:
What is more important, the reality or the perception? I am perceived to be an important designer. It's enough for me.
Clothes are designed for the media, because it's a great show.
At the very beginning of my career, when I opened my business in Italy, I was also a ranked tennis player. I had won many tournaments. To be an athlete was my first choice. Second choice: designer. However! There was more money in being a designer at that time.
I spent half my life being hurt. The leftovers of hurt are an automatic gesture, like a dog that salivates.
I was brought up in Florence, a beautiful medieval town whose rhythm is completely in antiquity.
I have programmed myself to be at least 105 years old.
I've been around tennis, and I have a feeling for the sport. I still play tennis, and I can still do a lot of harm to a lot of people.
Life is such a tragicomedy.
Fashion anticipates.
A healthy mind and body are essential. No excesses. Proper food. The body is like a Rolls-Royce. With care, it could last 200 years. It's a dynamo; the more you use it, the more you recharge it.
The first lady must be a leader. She must not be a follower.
A designer is like a doctor for a woman. He has a specific job, and if he is doing it well, he will have the gratitude of the woman for the rest of his life.
I am a great believer in luck.
