“The most important thing that I think we've done this season is to show navy and gray in a very new way. Most men understand navy and gray as a navy blazer and a gray flannel trouser, but today, we're taking that very traditional color palette and putting it in a more modern shape.” ThinkingMenWayImportantDoneShowsTodayModernColorShapesSeasonsImportant ThingsTraditionalGrayNew WaysNavyPaletteBlazersFlannels Author:Joseph Abboud

“Words can mean different things to different people. It is important to understand what people mean when they use a certain word. Let's make an example. Take the word gay. Fifty years ago, gay meant exclusively cheerfulness, lighthearted excitement, merry or bright colors. Today this word has a different meaning. You won't call a cheerful person gay because it could be understood as something else.” PeopleYearsMeanPersonsImportantDifferentUseTodayCertainExampleColorGayUnderstoodYears AgoExcitementFiftyDifferent ThingsCheerfulDifferent PeoplesMerryCheerfulnessDifferent MeaningsBright Colors Author:Ali Sina
“My reason [for making my own paint] is to force a real-time experience of the work. Most work today is experienced by reproduction, and more specifically by computer screen, like jpegs, but an RGB simulation of fluorescent will never fully accurately depict some colors. For example, our eyes are a lot more sophisticated than you might assume.

“The people that say diversity is the reason for the greatness are purposely assaulting the United States as founded.

Yeah, I've read the Federalist Papers, you know. James Madison, he wasn't popular with the transgender group back then. Did you know that? You won't find the word.

“Reality itself is steadily becoming more colored. Think of what factories were like, especially in Italy at the beginning of the 19th century, when industrialization was just beginning: gray, brown and smoky. Color didn't exist. Today, instead, most everything is colored. The pipe running from the basement to the 12th floor is green because it carries steam. The one carrying electricity is red, and that with water is purple. Also, plastic colors have filled our homes, even revolutionized our taste.
