Complexity is one of the great problems in environmental design.
Britain's great strength is its innovative design and engineering natural ability and we're not using it.
For me unemployment and poverty in the Greater Montreal area is not mainly a problem of structure or design or statistics. It is a profoundly human situation.
But I'm blessed to work with great people. I collaborate with brilliant stylists both here and in Paris. I work with a great design team. I really allow everyone to bring their ideas. I almost rely on them to inspire me.
Marc Jacobs is full of creative people and Louis Vuitton is again a name on the door a name that has existed for many years but I'm a collaborator there and I bring in other people other artists and I work with a great creative design team.
When I design a wedding dress with a bustle it has to be one the bride can dance in. I love the idea that something is practical and still looks great.
Though men are apt to flatter and exalt themselves with their great achievements yet these are in truth very often owing not so much to design as chance.
So to really execute design in its highest form and making people feel joy that's a great reward.
To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number to the specialist of an enlightened matter to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need.

I'm not on the run from anything and I'm not at all clear about what I'm running towards. But as some great writer put it I want to be certain that when I arrive at death I'm totally exhausted.
When I was younger I wasn't concentrating on good days. I was managing a career and trying to have a good year. It would always 'lead' to something which never leads to anything except death where everything leads to. And then as I got older and then I had my kids and everything I began to appreciate a great Wednesday.
The miser starving his brother's body starves also his own soul and at death shall creep out of his great estate of injustice poor and naked and miserable.
Feminists bore me to death. I follow my instinct and if that supports young girls in any way great. But I'd rather they saw it more as a lesson about following their own instincts rather than imitating somebody.
Perhaps we don't need these religious concoctions to pillow the fear of death. Just the fact that there is an unknown and something greater can bring a feeling of peace. That's enough for me.
I am one who believes that one of the greatest dangers of advertising is not that of misleading people but that of boring them to death.
Life is the desert life the solitude death joins us to the great majority.
