“In real life, we do things out of character, constantly. A couple of days ago, my shoes were hurting, so I walked barefoot through New York.

“When I was a kid, I used to live in New York City. There was a guy named Michael Alig. He used to throw parties. And a couple of times, I even worked for him and his crew, and handed out fliers, and had my super-high shoes on, and wearing silver Saran Wrap around my head or something. It's a world I was really comfortable in: a world full of individuals. I think what I like about that world - besides my own personal interests - is the individualism, the investment in the self.” ThinkingWorldSelfKidsUsedGuyIndividualInterestMy OwnPartyCitiesNew YorkCoupleComfortableInvestmentShoesSilverNew York CityIndividualismCrewWrapsPersonal Interest Author:Jared Leto
“I love New York. It's given me so much as a designer. When I moved here, I wanted to tap into the glamour of the city immediately. More than anywhere else, New York offers itself up - you arrive and get a rush in a flash. It's dazzling. Everywhere you look, there is decoration, from a pair of jewel-encrusted shoes in the window in Bergdorf Goodman to the Chrysler Building. And New York is incredibly democratic. Everyone is packed into this tiny space. You are confronted with all manner of people, and I love that.” PeopleLooksWantedGivenSpaceCitiesNew YorkBuildingOffersWindowMovedDemocraticShoesTinyDesignerPairsFlashJewelsGlamourDecorationDazzlingI Love New YorkGoodmanChryslerChrysler BuildingBergdorf Goodman Author:Tom Ford
“You can get stuff done in New York that you can't in Los Angeles.

“New York makes me swoony and in love. The New York of the 1880s was a place where black eye fixers did a brisk business and people were routinely killed for their shoes. But, the constant aspiration of the city never changes.” PeopleEyeBlackCitiesNew YorkConstantShoesAspirationNever ChangeBlack EyesFixers Author:Molly Crabapple
