Time is my biggest luxury. Finding time to do things outside of fashion, which I think for a designer is incredibly important.

When I moved to America, I knew I wanted to be a designer. I never imagined one of my dresses would end up in the Smithsonian.

I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern, very now - no one wears head-to-toe designer anymore.

A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

We have the Terminator as governor, and we had an actor as president, so why shouldn't we have a fashion designer as a senator?

It's sad, the enslavement of the black underclass to designer labels - we're an age that cares more about Versace than Vermeer.

I feel like design school might ruin people, particularly if you're a menswear designer, as there's not much focus on business.

I understand that the rule of fashion is to change, even as a successful designer - you do not want to be stuck in the same rut.

If you're a designer, there's got to be some films that you've seen that have inspired you creatively. There's no escaping that.

I never thought of myself as being limited to fashion. I'm a designer, and if you have a vision, you can apply that to anything.

My mum was a costume designer and costume supervisor in the theater and, especially, the ballet. But that was before I was born.

I feel like I might be a designer or stylist - or a director because I have always been super interested in cameras and editing.

On the clothes front, I have a designer who sits with the director for each film to chalk out a look for me based on the script.

I'd love to go to fashion week! I'm learning more about designers, thanks to 'Pretty Little Liars' costume designer, Mandi Line.

Evil is evil, and it doesn't discriminate by dress. Some evil people in the headlines wear designer suits and wing-tipped shoes.

Growing up, I loved shopping from the streets of Delhi and love a mix and match of designer wear and high street in my wardrobe.

I'm not an interior designer - I'm a normal working mum who wants her house to look good and doesn't need a man to do it for her.

I wear everything from hip-hop baggy pants to beautiful Armani dresses. I also like to mix vintage clothing with designer pieces.

Even though I love fashion and would love to be a fashion designer, I don't live and breathe fashion every day of my entire life.

Ngila Dixon is such an incredible costume designer. She's such a cool, stylish woman. She has such an understanding of character.

Growing up, I wanted to be a fashion designer, which I'm still in school for. Like, that's what I want to be: a fashion designer.

I just use fashion as an excuse to talk about politics. Because I'm a fashion designer, it gives me a voice, which is really good.

When I graduated from Parsons School of Design, the dean at that time said I would never be a designer. Obviously I didn't listen.

The talent for discovering the unique and marketable characteristics of a product and service is a designer's most valuable asset.

I'm not very happy to be classified as another Japanese designer. There is no one characteristic that all Japanese designers have.

After all, it's very important for any big-name designer to have a couture range. I leave the ready-to-wear to my partner and team.

I make films but I am trained as a designer. I come from this series of designers called critical designers, speculative designers.

I would have loved to be the designer of the Capitol of the United States. I would love to do some important major public building.

I was always interested in fabric, clothes and designing. Maybe I would have been a designer by profession if I didn't start acting.

When you are a designer, what's important is to be aware of things. Everything should lead to an idea, a line to follow, a movement.

There are so many designers that I love, and I'm so lucky that I get to work with so many of them and sometimes spend time with them.

Where I am from, people are into designer brands, but not, like, the cool ones, just like any designer brand, and I wasn't that type.

My dad was a designer for Upper Deck, and I had hundreds of Ken Griffey Jr. cards. Hundreds. I could have paid for college with them.

I love mixing prints. The costume designer for 'Pair of Kings' and I have actually incorporated the trend for my character 'Mikayla.'

I love telling press the designers I'm wearing, especially if they are emerging. That's exciting to me, supporting talented newcomers.

I am proud that my collections have received such praise, and I am even more proud to share the stage with so many talented designers.

Often when I meet people and say I'm a designer, they say, 'Oh, a fashion designer.' Which is not a bad thing I suppose, a bit groovy.

People think that I have this wonderful hourglass figure, but I owe that to designer Tadashi Shoji because he cuts for me really well.

I really like to look professional but also have personal flare. You will never find me in head-to-toe designer - I like to mix it up.

I definitely went through a phase where I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was younger... But I certainly wasn't very good at it.

My muse changes all the time because I think every designer is a bit of a muse for themselves in a way - they just don't want to say it.

While an artist can choose whether or not to be responsive and responsible towards other human beings, by definition a designer must be.

In future there will be no more designers. The designers of the future will be the personal coach, the gym trainer, the diet consultant.

A good designer has technical knowledge - don't treat her like someone who's there to decide whether something should be pink or orange.

I did not want to be labelled 'the designer who survived the atomic bomb,' and therefore I have always avoided questions about Hiroshima.
