“I was also very lucky to be able to work with talented people while I was learning. I didn't actually go to fashion school. I worked with Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy which was a really pivotal experience for me. He taught me a lot about being faithful to your own voice and to really believe in your own voice and that's made a big difference.” PeopleBelieveMadeBigsAbleSchoolVoiceDifferencesFashionTaughtLuckyFaithfulBelieve In YouBeing FaithfulPivotalGivenchy Author:Joseph Altuzarra

“You see people - maybe in a frustrating fashion - that don't get embraced, when they should.

“I think the essence of fashion is lightness, frivolity, and I'm very nostalgic for the time when Bérard was doing the windows, Cocteau was writing a play, Chanel did the costumes, Bérard did the sets. I don't have to tell you this, because Colette was the first to have revived the Rue St.-Honoré by precisely doing windows that attract people. And I really like that spontaneous spirit. And so, you're lucky to be with Colette, because it's a magic word.” PeopleThinkingWritingSpiritMagicFashionLuckyWindowSpontaneousNostalgicFrivolity Author:Ines de La Fressange
“No matter what level you're starting at, it's about not only utilizing your time, but your resources and network. For me, I started my company with a small amount of savings; I never had investors and I was lucky in the sense that I had models and connections in the fashion industry who were willing to give me advice early on. So really, for anyone starting a new business, it's really important to seek out mentors and knowledge from those who have come before you. And to not let that be discouraging, but to take that advice and really learn from it and mold it to what you're trying to do.” GivingTryingImportantAdviceFashionLuckyInvestorsMentorDiscouragingFashion IndustryNew Business Author:Lauren Bush
“By the late '50s, something was happening in England, and it got to be quite exciting. The music world then started to explode with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. It was an incredible time with this mixture of independence in art, fashion, and the explosion of the pop sensibility. London was certainly at the center of it all for a few years. And as far as art is concerned, I think that sensibility of what was later called Pop art started in England even before America. And so I was lucky to be there.” ThinkingWorldArtFashionLuckyArt IsConcernedExcitingIndependenceIncrediblesSensibilityRolling StonesPop Art Author:Tony Shafrazi
