Quote of the Day: Daphne Guinness Establishes Her Labels
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News
"So much spirit and freedom of experimentation died in the ’80s. It started with AIDS; AIDS wiped all that out. And so many of the people who would understand what I’m doing are dead now. Still, even though I am not trained at this, I try to find new ways of expressing myself and to use whatever it is I have creatively. I am not an eccentric, and I am not some sort of multitrillionaire just interested in buying clothes... What drives me now is the idea of something being against the world. I’m an artist, I suppose."
-- International muse Daphne Guinness on what she truly is.

Quote of the Day: Marc Jacobs Compares Himself to a Pig
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows
“I used to say in the beginning that I was like the pig in Babe when the farmer, who was not wildly emotional, expressed himself in a super-warm way. Mr Arnault does not express himself in a super-warm way, but he has softened up - I am that pig and he pats me on the back and says ‘That’ll do pig,’ and I just feel this is the highest praise. This is a man who does not throw out compliments or say things to please people - he just does not.”

Quote of the Day: Rick Owens Wants His Designs at the Grocery Store
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows
“When I started out in LA, I was doing a lot of long lengths and dragging on the ground. I resent this idea of long lengths being reserved for special occasions and I like the idea that you can bring them into your ordinary life—like wearing it to the grocery store. If you wash it, tone down the colors and minimize it, that can happen.”

Quote of the Day: Carine Roitfeld on Censorship
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Editorials, Models
“What I can see is that now, the censoring is bigger than it was 20, 30, or 40 years ago. I think we have less freedom. Today some pictures [from past issues of Vogue Paris] would not even be publishable. It’s not just about the nudity, but when you talk about things politically, the military, kids, it would all be politically incorrect and not publishable today. We have to fight to keep this un-politically correct attitude of French Vogue, but it’s more and more difficult to be able do that. You cannot smoke, you cannot show arms, you cannot show little girls, because everyone now is very anxious not to have problems with the law. Everything we do now is like walking in high heels on the ice, but we keep trying to do it.”
- French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld on current censorship in fashion magazines.
