Quote of the day: Fran Lebowitz on wants vs needs



Fran Lebowitz quote

“I’m very materialistic. Unfortunately, I am also very uninterested in money, so it’s a horrible combination. I have more Anderson & Sheppard suits and jackets than I should. More than I could really afford. Of course, you don’t actually need any of these things, and I have more than I need. That doesn’t mean that I have more than I want, since I seem to be the only American who knows the difference between desire and need. But I enjoy the whole process. There is nothing that I like more than to spend hours looking through swatches. I love deciding between 17 shades of grey.” (more…)



Quote of the day: Virginie Viard

Quote of the day: Bobbi Brown on working with Bruce Weber



Bobbi Brown - founder of Jones Road Beauty

“I had been working by then, but I was still a wreck, and I remember trying on every outfit to try to look cool. When I arrived, I knocked on the door, and this man with a bandana opened it and said, ‘Oh my God, you’re here, I’ve been waiting so long to work with you!’ That moment changed me forever, and when I became successful, I always made sure to say something to make people, especially newbies, feel comfortable instantly.”

Quote of the day: Kim Gordon



Kim Gordon book

“I just feel like it’s tricky, that sort of branding. There’s a thing I don’t like to feel, like when someone labels you — it makes you feel frozen in a way. That there’s artifice around you or something.”
Kim Gordon, WWD
