Fashion it's not just about learning how to draw pretty pictures, and how to sew, it's everything that makes up your life.

At all costs, avoid clothes that are too big. The more volume your clothes have, the more volume you appear to have.

I have my mantra about silhouette, proportion, and fit. I believe that when they are in harmony and balance, you’ll look great in anything.

Frankly, from my perspective, the bomber jacket is such a classic item you can wear it even when it's not on trend.

I have a very Socratic approach - I pummel the designers with questions, so when I get them to step back from the work and look at it with me, they'll eventually see what I see, coming to it fresh and unencumbered. That's always very gratifying because they feel a responsibility and an ownership of a solution.

If I could predict the trends, they would already be there.

I have one brand I go to, and it's Suit Supply, and it's fantastic. I was spending $3,500-$4000 on a suit, and the suit I'm wearing today was $500. And they last you forever. The shoulders are set in by hand, it's phenomenal.
