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.”

Quote of the day: Ana Gimeno Brugada



Ana Gimeno Brugada - The Sartorialist

“[I] bring everything to be pressed at the dry cleaners. It’s better to use the press machine instead of an iron. It’s much more brutal and becomes much more mechanical … We ask for pieghe sbagliate! I love this! With all of the lines of the press like a grid on your jacket or pants.”

Love this breakdown of Ana Gimeno Brugada’s style by Fiona at Wardrobe Strategy. I’d love to see her on Bella Freud’s couch actually…! (more…)

Quote of the day: Jean Touitou on Agnès b



Agnes b Snap cardigan

“I was playing my electric guitar in [Agnès b’s] studio above the store one evening. I remember seeing her come back from dinner, put a black round-neck sweatshirt on a desk, grab a pair of scissors and cut the piece right down the middle. Then, she took snap buttons and put them on the front. It became a worldwide hit.”

Quote of the day: Sophie Calle



Sophie Calle by Tim El Kaïm for W magazine

“I am both very much about oversharing but, at the same time, not at all. I am not on social media; I don’t have Instagram or Facebook. So, I am saying a lot less than anyone who is writing about what they had for dinner last night, or where, or with whom. There are a lot of people who think that they know me, but that is completely false. In fact, I choose a moment, but it is just a moment—I don’t tell what happened before or after. I have been with the same man for 20 years, and I have never written one line about him or shown one photo of him. For 20 years, no one has known how I really live my life.”
