My mother inspired me to treat others as I would want to be treated regardless of age, race or financial status.
-
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.
-
Our look and image never change dramatically from one season to the next, so we need an edge.
-
I currently live in the Plaza in New York and I love it - all that history, all those interesting stories.
-
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.
-
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 consider myself to be respectful, and I believe this is a main value for sports.
-
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.
-
I try not to have regrets and to learn from every experience.
-
I thought, if I went into business I'd be able to control my own destiny.
-
Always stay focused. Always give and try your best.

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.
-
Victory is about recognizing all the work that went into achieving your dream.

New York Fashion Week comes only twice a year, make it count
-
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!
-
I'm a designer of more than clothes. I am a designer of a very creative concept.
-
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.
-
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.

In designing a lifestyle brand, you have to know more than just designing clothes.
