If I just do it, it will take less time than telling someone what I'm thinking, and have them free associate, and then come back to me and I'll hate it and I'll have to redo it.
From Isaac Mizrahi
How do I do it? I don't know how I wouldn't do it - that's the thing.
You listen to Handel operas, right? And there are a thousand of them, right? And they all sound alike. If I look back on my work, maybe it's the same thing.
What you do, you don't think of as a product.
You know what makes me teary? Goya. Goya makes me cry.
I'm so involved in melancholy.
That's one thing about fashion that you really shouldn't be-you can't be melancholy in fashion because people don't respond to it.
If you try to have a fashion show with Bach fugues and John Coltrane, it doesn't really work.
This is what I like about being a designer: You can't really get it until you see it.
People say it's really the press who create those soundbites about fashion. That's what sells magazines and clothes.
