So many designers only sketch and leave pattern-making to others. Pattern-making is important so you know the structure. Then if someone tells me, 'I can't make a pattern from that sketch,' I can tell them, 'I will make it' and then they are quiet. If I can't make it, I don't design it.
The letters were universally complimentary, and we designers loved hearing that our games were being enjoyed, but if they weren't sending us a picture of their screens most of those writers would have spent their time playing the game rather than writing letters.
Designers are very fickle. I never wanted to be a victim of that. You're in one minute, out the next.
It's amazing to see things that are suggested in the book fully developed and so brilliantly realized through the artistry of the designers.
But I'm not crazy about the designers like Prada and Gucci. I hate going into designer stores.
'Vogue' has the power to make and break - whether it's fashion trends, designers, models, and yes, even industry practices.
I wore the Marc Jacobs dress, so I love Marc Jacobs. He has a vintage flair. But I've always worn a lot of vintage stuff, so it hasn't been a lot of designers. If I see something that I like, I just buy it.
What I have learned is that designers are willing to tell the world that they are here to empower women from all different backgrounds and different walks of life.
When I first came to the Bay area, I worked in Silicon Valley in the early to mid-'90s, and I think what mattered then was our ability as designers to create a vision around people's ideas.
It's interesting to see how some of the womenswear designers that we have long worked with at Net-A-Porter are developing menswear collections - Christopher Kane, Jonathan Saunders and Richard Nicoll.
If the Walkman had, by default, silently contacted your friends and told them what you were listening to, not only would no one have bought a Walkman in the first place, its designers would have been viewed with the utmost suspicion.
You don't need money to look fabulous. There are so many awesome new designers, so many designers doing collections for mass retailers.
I am proud that my collections have received such praise, and I am even more proud to share the stage with so many talented designers.
It is also interesting to note that the original supermodels are now making a comeback after being dismissed in the Nineties as being 'greedy' by a gaggle of male designers who lived like Sun Kings.
Most designers work up to a peak. They do some great stuff, and then it's just junk.
I love high-end designers, but a head-to-toe designer look for me is extremely boring. I've always mixed it up.
It's a lot of fun being dressed by designers and surrounded by publicists.
These designers have no reserve. They've chosen a path and thrown themselves onto it head first, regardless of everything. Whether or not their designs are sellable or vulgar. As long as it's new and people talk about it. That is the truth.
It's a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It's all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together.
If you do generic things, you know, after a while, brands or designers become stagnated.
Apple's Industrial Design team is harder to get into than the Illuminati, and part of the reason is because no one leaves. In the last 15 years, not one of the 18 designers has ditched Apple for greener pastures.
Designers send me clothes I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing.
There's something about the fashion world that I like, which is, I see a lot of the designers really have affection for other designers.
Systematically identity top designers as early as possible. The best are often not the most experienced.
I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to designers, but I love going to fashion shows just to see the other personalities that show up. It's such an eclectic group, and everybody is sort of like an artist.
I am very curvy, so the vintage stores suit me better than most designers. I just can't seem to give up crisps, or make my boobs shrink for that matter. Alas, I will never fit a size zero.
I came from a different world from other designers because I already had such a strong fan base that was interested in fashion. You have to give the little divas something.
Alexander Wang has been one of my favorite designers since I was younger.
Designers used to be kept behind veiled doors. Now they are often the faces of companies.
There's so many great designers. I'm a little bit of a vintage junkie when it comes to going out. I like to get unique pieces that you won't see everyone wearing, but at the same time I don't like to break the bank. I like to find great vintage pieces that you can hold on to for a long time.
I mean, we make a 15-minute show that's incredibly silly, even though all of our scenic designers, puppet builders. animators, everybody that works on the show take their work very seriously. So somebody saying that we'd even be in contention for a very respectable award is really nice.
My designs at Ungaro are a lot more sexual, in more of an obvious way: my personal designers are a little bit more sideways.
I've always been a huge admirer and lover of Alexander McQueen, Alexander Wang. I love so many British designers like Stella McCartney.
I pay two full-time assistants in my studio, plus consultants who are architects, engineers, and landscape architects, as well as lighting designers.
Designers may find the fashion business can shrivel up.
A lot of designers get caught up in the creativity, but you've got to think about the legs of your collection - essentially, how the line is going to move forward.
