Quote of the day: Rick Owens



Rick Owens and Michele Lamy Harrods magazine

“I wear a coat with a very precise shoulder. I wear platform boots. I’m telegraphing that I want to contribute something a little bit more precise and formal. Formality implies politeness, and politeness implies being kind. So that’s my little effort.”

Rick Owens discussing his ‘airport fashion’ look in Harrods magazine. The accompanying Rick-n-Michèle shoot is suitably eccentric too. Michèle Lamy sipping from her Harrods mug is peak fabulosity.

Quote of the day: Sally Clarke on Lucian Freud



Sally Clarke On Lucian Freud

“He would ring up and announce, “This is Lucian Freud.” I would tease him, asking in reply, “Lucy and who?” There would be a long silence, after which he would ask to reserve a table.”

Quote of the day: Phoebe Philo for HTSI



Phoebe Philo guest editor How To Spend It

“With so much of our collective experience and social interaction reliant on a digital culture, clothes, for me, represent almost the polar opposite. Clothes are tactile, emotionally resonant, personal and, on so many levels, anything but remote. The person wearing the clothes wears them against their skin. The person designing them is proposing garments that may be life-enhancing, protective, revealing, seductive – arousing many different feelings, both inwardly and outwardly.”
