“I have always been interested in fashion as an informing design discipline: proportion structure, detail, materiality, texture, color and quality. With a heightened interest in, and an awareness of the built environment, the 'store' has become a critical, perceptual and psychological component of merchandising as well as imaging. Architecture and fashion are partners.” WellsInterestQualityEnvironmentAwarenessFashionDesignColorDisciplineBuiltStructureDetailsCriticalStoresArchitecturePartnersPsychologicalProportionComponentsTextureInformingImagingMaterialityMerchandisingBuilt Environment Author:Charles Gwathmey
“I think the relationship is very tenuous between fashion and art. Many designers have built relationships with artists, which is not something I personally did. But it's true, sometimes you see artists working for a designer or a brand on some specific project or taking care of their environment and making an amazing store.” ThinkingArtSometimesCareArtistEnvironmentFashionProjectsBuiltStoresBrandsDesignerFashion And Art Author:Olivier Theyskens
“I've always been very interested in fashion, but it is extremely important to me that the social and environment issues associated with the production of fashionable clothing are addressed. Made-By carries out really important work in transforming the fashion industry, and I am thrilled to support the organisation and help raise awareness of these ongoing issues.” MadeImportantHelpingSocialSupportIssuesEnvironmentAwarenessFashionIndustryRaisesProductionsCarrieClothingsOngoingTransformingFashionableOrganisationFashion IndustryImportant Work Author:Bonnie Wright
“Fashion is much more collaborative than one might think. You have to have an idea and vision and you have to communicate that vision to a team of people and you have to create an environment that allows those people to give the best that they can give.” PeopleThinkingGivingIdeasMightVisionEnvironmentTeamFashionCommunicate Author:Tom Ford
“We made basement practice songs.To have them presented in such a huge fashion today - like at Primavera, where it's thousands of people in a festival environment - is surreal. I never thought some of the songs would ever need to be projected at such a volume or to such a wide span of people.” PeopleNeedsMadeTodaySongPracticeEnvironmentFashionHugeWideVolumeFestivalsSurrealBasementsFashion Today Author:David Pajo
