I think it's an old fashioned notion that fashion needs to be exclusive to be fashionable.

I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting.

I like to make things. I like making choices, choosing colours, evoking a spirit, a change.

It's the things that aren't accepted as conventionally beautiful that I find more attractive.

Fashion isn't a necessity. It pulls at your heart. It's a whim. You don't need it. You want it.

I'm not good at hiding my feelings. I'm also not good at lying. I'm very open about everything.

Sex is always good, isn't it? Well, actually it's not always good, but it's always a good thing.

A lot of models achieve that kind of iconic position by working primarily with one photographer.

To me, clothing is a form of self-expression - there are hints about who you are in what you wear.

Working with Stephen Sprouse was always one of my very favorite things. I was always a fan of his.

I love attention. Maybe my desire for attention is a little too out of control, but I'm very honest.

I've never been a business person, nor have I ever pretended to understand the first thing about it.

It's quite nice to see that I didn't have to change who I was to reach two very different types of people.

We're developing things, but I don't know what we'll go with for the show, so I don't like to talk about it.

I love how the reality of fashion is all about something for that moment and then the extremity of dismissal.

I love the gym, but I still want to look a bit awkward at it. I don't want to look too on top of it, you know?

It's sometimes said that I'm rebellious and I do things to push people's buttons, but I just like the challenge.

I love to take things that are everyday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world.

I always say I lived my life with my grandmother. She was emotionally stable, and she was very encouraging to me.

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.

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.

Part of the talent of any company is to surround yourself with people who have good spirit and help you do more and more things.

I think there is something about luxury - it's not something people need, but it's what they want. It really pulls at their heart.

Change is a great and horrible thing, and people love it or hate it at the same time. Without change, however, you just don't move.

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.

One thing that is exciting about fashion is the surprise element. People don't know what they want. They just know when they see it.

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!

The Louis Vuitton woman is more about a quality - a quality within some women that needs to come forward, to be noticed and recognised.

We want to do sweaters for dogs and call it 'Bark Jacobs.' If it works, great. If it doesn't, we'll drop it and do something different.

Creativity in any form stimulates creativity in every form, music, arts, literature... I find inspiration in anything. It's all the same.

I am so appalled by the whole social media thing. I don't get it; it doesn't appeal to me. Neither does a computer or working on a laptop.

I want to see women in pantsuits or two pieces, even something a little bit gaudy. It's so much more exciting than just another nice 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.

Sephora's business is really smart and clever - I'm all for anything that gets people up and out and into the social experience of shopping.

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.

Without any kind of real ego on my part, I just thought, I'm going to approach the people I admire and see if they want to do something together.

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.

Everybody wants to be a celebrity, which is why we have this phenomenon of social media, where nobody wants to be private. We all want to be seen.

We live in a world where people are really hungry for information, and they're not hungry for information on subjects that they're not interested in.

You don`t have the same reaction to a girl walking around the street today in a nightgown and a vintage coat and sneakers, that you did six years ago.

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.

A sellout is putting your name on any piece of crap and then expecting people to buy it because it's got your name on it. That's what a sellout is to me.

I remember walking the dog one day, I saw a car full of teenage girls, and one of them rolled down the window and yelled, 'Marc Jacobs!' in a French accent.

For so many years, I felt so insecure, so inferior, and I still have those moments, but I have a newfound confidence since I got in shape and changed my diet.

I have no problem going on record with this and probably have gone on record with this before, there aren't that many people who I respect. There just aren't.

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.

I hate this idea that you have to love somebody because they are your family. Nobody can tell me what I'm supposed to feel and who I am supposed to feel it for.

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.

I love a blouse that's dumb. I love to use the word 'dumb.' It's not knowing, and the word 'blouse' is so out of fashion that I love it - 'a blouse that's dumb.'

I'm a designer. I make clothes and bags and shoes. I have a job that involves making creative choices, but I'm not a divinely inspired human being like an artist!
