But, the thing is, since I always had my own little shop and direct access to the public, I've been able to build up a technique without marketing people ever telling me what the public wants.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop, and so I've always had people buying them. I could always sell a few, even if I couldn't sell a lot, and somehow my business grew because people happened to like it. I'm in a fortunate position.
The public don't know what they want; it's my job to tell them.
We don't want to push our ideas on to customers, we simply want to make what they want.
Give the public what they want. What you want is unimportant.
I have become a marketing tool and I feel very uncomfortable with that. There's no space for me to express myself.
Actually I don't choose to expose myself in public. I choose to compete; the other side just comes with the package.
I don't believe that the public knows what it wants; this is the conclusion that I have drawn from my career.
I told myself the next time I had a good idea, I would bring it to market.
At an independent label, you have to figure out inventive ways to promote without spending the money.
Well, anything you want to make public is your public business.
