Marc Jacobs
What's comfortable to me is familiarity. Comfort has nothing to do with the size of the garment. I do find something quite comfortable and charming in a too-narrow shoulder, a sleeve that's too short or too long, a pant that's too high or too low, hems that are trod on.
I don't think there is just one Louis Vuitton woman. That is why, for the fall/winter 2011 show, I loved the idea of lots of different characters - a wife, a mistress, a girlfriend - stepping out of the row of hotel elevators.
Living in the past or living in the future - those aren't real. The moment is now, and that's where safety and comfort and all that good stuff is.
I don't need to be better than anybody or worse than anybody to feel better about myself. I just need to stick on my own path and stay in the moment as best I can.
It was getting very boring to watch celebrities all wearing the same dress.
I wouldn't be posting videos of me in drag or doing a remake of Zoolander's orange mocha frappuccino scene if I didn't still like attention.
We have a lot of love for women who wear Marc their way.
Real fashion is something you don't need - it's something you want.
Working with Stephen Sprouse was always one of my very favorite things. I was always a fan of his.
I am around people I love to be with all day; I'm not lonely. The simplest, happiest pleasure is being on my couch with my dog, Neville. Nothing is more comforting or soothing.
I want to be as honest as I possibly can. I sleep better at night.
My relationship with fashion has always been that each of us stars in our own movies and costumes ourselves to play the part we want. You take blouses and jeans and dresses, and you put them together, and they tell your story.
I love how the reality of fashion is all about something for that moment and then the extremity of dismissal.
I have often been criticised for doing an about-face from one season to the next - as has my wonderfully inspiring lady designer whom I love so much, Miuccia Prada - but that is what I love about fashion.
I don't want to read a book on a device. I like a book with a hard cover and text on a piece of paper. I like magazines. I don't care if I carry around 100 lbs. of magazines; I'd rather do that than look at them on the Internet.
I've never been a business person, nor have I ever pretended to understand the first thing about it.
For me, America is New York.
Life is a fashion show, the world is your runway.Collection: Fashion
To me, clothing is a form of self-expression - there are hints about who you are in what you wear.Collection: Fashion
I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s real.Collection: Life
You can never please everyone, and I think it's best not to.Collection: Thinking

Luxury is about pleasing yourself, not dressing for other peopleCollection: Luxury
Even mistakes can get you one step further.Collection: Mistake
Young girls need to learn that sexiness isn't about being naked.Collection: Girl
I don't believe in fashion dictatorship, and I find that anybody who follows the dictates of fashion is a bit lost. I'm excited by style, not so much by fashion.Collection: Fashion
Fashion is just something money can buy. People who are stylish are free and have no fear in staying true to themselves. Plus, style is infinitely more interesting.Collection: Fashion
The best dresses are like t-shirts - you just put them on and forget about them.Collection: Dresses
What's worked for me is not quitting and being passionate about what I do and not giving up - and when I don't believe in myself, turning to others who believe in me.Collection: Giving Up
Fashion is such a fairytale and it is such a fantasy. And it's about metamorphosis and sort of changing yourself and playing a part that you want people to see.Collection: Fashion
I like to make things. I like making choices, choosing colours, evoking a spirit, a change.Collection: Choices
Both my partner and I did not get into cooking so that we could wear ugly chef's coats and stuff. We dress sexy in the kitchen.Collection: Sexy
I envy the people who go to Paris the first timeCollection: Paris
The attention toward me is basically because of what we've built as a company. If we built a pile of crap then nobody would care what I ate for lunch.Collection: Lunch
I am a perfect being in a perfect world.Collection: Perfect
I don't know the history of art, but I got over intimidation from the art world when I realized that I was allowed to feel whatever I want and like whatever I want.Collection: Art
I think something happens with age. And I find this really a lot in what I read from certain art critics: For people who are all about change-people who are supposed to be intellectually and culturally drawn to the idea of change and how the voice of a creative person affects the world on a bigger scale than just the canvas-I would expect a person in that position to have that open mind. It's only a sign of age that they become so locked in their own rules that they forget that this is what it's all about.Collection: Art
I value very much the time before the show, when there is nothing else but to concentrate on the show, and it's just purely design.Collection: Design
I like the sort of 'nothingness' of the jeans and the T-shirt. I feel that's about as close as I can get to the future because it seems like something so old that will always be, so I feel it's a safe bet for the future.Collection: Jeans
I don't find clothes sexy at all. I find people sexy.Collection: Sexy
I think beauty is youth; it's energy. I'm attracted to imperfection, style, confidence, and experimentation. So beauty, to me, is really a lot of things. It's kind of unexpected-what surprises you.Collection: Thinking
I love attention, I'm very honest about it ... [but] if I wanna wear a pink dress or a lace dress or a kilt of whatever, it's like I'm not solely doing it for attention, I'm doing it first for myself because it gives me pleasure.Collection: Giving
I am Marc Jacobs by birth, but we are Marc Jacobs by the company that we built.Collection: Birth
It's so weird how scary it is at the beginning of rehab, and then you bond with the people, and it's really an amazing experience. It is impossible to do it on your own, and it's good to ask for help when we need it.Collection: People
My mind absorbs things in a funny way. I'm on planes quite a bit and I always take stacks and stacks of magazines and I go through them and tear pages out and fold them up, and they get stuck at the bottom of my backpack or whatever.Collection: Mind
I always wanted to be a fashion designer so I just have to remember that as long as I'm doing it I'm living the dream.Collection: Dream
I create the concept, which for me is about deciding upon the right girl and the right 'spirit', and thinking of all the things that visually describe her. It's just like putting together a fashion show; for me, that starts with the spirit and the girls as well.Collection: Girl
Anyone who thinks designers don't talk to editors, and editors don't talk to stores doesn't know what's happening...It's called crossover, sampling all references in music, art and fashion.Collection: Fashion
I'd like to be invisible. To be anonymous and see things for what they really are. The truth may be painful but it's probably useful!Collection: May
