“I never wanted to design clothes. I never wanted to work for the fashion industry. Shoes sort of belong to the fashion industry, which is why I'm part of the fashion industry. But that's never been my thought. My thought since I was a child was really to design those shoes for girls on stage.” ChildrenWantedGirlStageFashionDesignIndustryClothesShoesMy ThoughtsFashion Industry Author:Christian Louboutin
“When women do succeed, the press, even the industry press, spend far too much time talking about how we dress, what shoes we're wearing, who we're meant to be seeing. That's pretty sad for women, especially when it's written by women who really should know better.” KnowsShouldSuccessTalkingToo MuchWrittenSeeingIndustrySucceedDressesPressesShoesMeant To Be Author:Zaha Hadid

“We think we have to work because the advertising industry has elevated wants into needs. The newspapers and the television batter us incessantly with the latest "must-haves", whether that's shoes, videogames or patio heaters.

“The growth of the American food industry will always bump up against this troublesome biological fact: Try as we might, each of us can only eat about fifteen hundred pounds of food a year. Unlike many other products - CDs, say, or shoes - there's a natural limit to how much food we each can consume without exploding. What this means for the food industry is that its natural rate of growth is somewhere around 1 percent per year - 1 percent being the annual growth rate of American population. The problem is that [the industry] won't tolerate such an anemic rate of growth.” TryingYearsMeanFactsProblemMightGrowthNaturalProductsIndustryLimitsPercentHundredRateShoesPopulationPoundsTolerateFifteenCdsBumpsAnnualsTroublesomeExplodingFood IndustryAmerican Food Book:The Omnivore's Dilemma: The Search for a Perfect Meal in a Fast-Food World Source: The Omnivore's Dilemma: The Search for a Perfect Meal in a Fast-Food World
