I think one thing I've learned over the years is just that you're not going to ever please everyone, and the most important person to please is yourself.
-
I started at Moschino Oct. 31 or Nov. 1, 2013, and now I go back and forth between Milan and Los Angeles, where I live.
-
I fell in love with L.A. To me, it is the most quintessentially American city.
-
I know that my image and my clothing and my output are very colorful and can be arresting and startling in some respects. That is the nature of my work, but I am a simple farm boy, and I am very calm by nature.
-
I'm a very normal person with a very even keel.
-
I don't make clothes for the critics.
-
I always grew up watching things transform, and a lot of that was what we would call trash.
-
If Michelle Obama had stepped out in an outrageously priced jacket by an Italian designer, heads would have rolled. People would have said it was deplorable.
-
My country is in the toilet. And when my country is in the toilet, the world is in the toilet.
-
I like the mix of something farmlike and something futuristic and artsy mixed together. It's kind of both my worlds.
-
I ultimately do still feel like an outsider, and I do feel, actually, I'm more in the world of music because of how much I participate with musicians - in all aspects, not just clothes.
-
I moved to Paris around 1995 or 1996; my first collection on the runway was in 1997.
-
Posterity is something I'm a big fan of because that's how you leave your legacy. Not to sound pompous, but just to be truthful.
-
I really don't see little girls growing up and thinking, 'Oh, I'm going to morph myself so I look like Barbie.'
-
I want my clothes to have a life and then end up in a secondhand store, where some cool girl discovers them 20 years later. If the runway or red carpet is the only life clothes have, it's sad.
-
I've always felt like an outsider, and I'll probably continue to always feel like an outsider. Hopefully that's a good thing. I feel like I approach things differently than other designers.
-
By the nature of fashion, you're only as good as your last collection, so I'm constantly striving to be better, so I don't look at it as if I've made it.
-
I think about my friends all the time when I'm designing. That's always an arbiter. Would Katy wear this? Would Rihanna wear this? Would Sia wear it? Would Miley wear it?
