I love creating bold, cinematic moments with my runway shows, so the idea of being a film director has always been appealing to me.
-
I looked at my competitors and I thought that, "If they could do it, I could do it. And if, they are popular and doing well, I could compete with them."
-
When I am in London, I think my favourite city is London, but when I am in New York, I feel it is New York. It is very hard to choose between the two.
-
I thought, if I went into business I'd be able to control my own destiny.
-
Our look and image never change dramatically from one season to the next, so we need an edge.
-
I think if a young person is passionate about something specific, he or she should follow their passion. You look at Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, all of these successes in Silicon Valley, these people have had passion in a specific area and have therefore succeeded. College isn't for everyone. If you don't have that passion or that specific focus in mind, I believe you should go to university and get an education.
-
I currently live in the Plaza in New York and I love it - all that history, all those interesting stories.
-
I consider myself to be respectful, and I believe this is a main value for sports.
-
One of the most important things to me is to make things real, not have models who are perfectly groomed or clothes that are too perfect. It all has to have a twist because that's how people live.
-
I try not to have regrets and to learn from every experience.
-
I disapprove of lots of decisions made by George Bush: the war, the meddling in the affairs of other countries, the conversations with dictators; it was a dark time.
-
The best city for fashion is Tokyo. You see styles there you won't see in London, Paris, Milan or New York. I also like the fashion scene in Los Angeles - it has a unique look.
-
My passion for music has always inspired my designs.
-
Always stay focused. Always give and try your best.
-
I think it's dangerous to think that you're successful, because then you become complacent.
-
Victory is about recognizing all the work that went into achieving your dream.
-
If I see someone wearing Hilfiger it makes me proud, but then I wonder what I could do to make the style more relevant for them next year?
-
I had eight brothers and sisters. Every Christmas my younger brother Bobby would wake up extra early and open everybody's presents - everybody's - so by the time the rest of us got up, all the gifts were shredded, ribbons off, torn open and thrown aside.
-
The possibilities are endless, so never be discouraged by a setback, no matter how big.
-
I always say if I weren't a fashion designer, my other dream job is being a rock star!
-
New York Fashion Week comes only twice a year, make it count
-
Other than a couple of moments in time, I always thought that, some way, I'm going to make it. I'm just going to make it. And I'm not going to give up. And I'm going to realize that dream. So, I never gave up. And I have realized the dream, and I enjoy every moment of every day.
-
Winning a trophy is always nice, but my personal satisfaction comes from reflecting on the passion, motivation, and determination that went into getting me there.
-
My rule of thumb is to strike a balance by sticking to the classics and playing with color, texture, and print to give them a modern update. On any given day, I keep it simple with jeans or chinos and a comfortable dress shirt.
