Ezra Koenig Quotes

Ralph Lauren is about creating stories, creating concepts that consumers want to live in. We are about creating dreams.

Ralph Lauren has always had a story. At first, my father told the story just through his designs. Now we're constantly looking for new ways to tell that story through innovation and technology.

We built our fashion around three fundamental concepts: Sicily, tailoring, and tradition. Our dream is to create a style which is timeless, and to create clothes with such a strong personality that whoever sees them can instantly say without a shadow of a doubt: this is a Dolce & Gabbana.

With a brand like Gucci, you have to give something that belongs to beautiful Italian culture in terms of craftsmanship and materials.

Thom Browne is, in my opinion, one of the great minds in men's wear.

I even do my ready-to-wear samples like couture.

Many young people don't know what Versace represent. I want to show what makes Versace an iconic brand.

I hope the people remember Dolce & Gabbana for the sensuality, for the Mediterranean sense, for our honesty to the life.

As a longtime fashion enthusiast and the architect of the YMCMB lifestyle, it makes perfect sense to partner with the esteemed Bravado and move into fashion and launch my apparel brands.

If anything, Calvin Klein is the iconic company in terms of fashion. They do have iconic images for their campaigns.

I love Chanel. Chanel, Chanel, Chanel, Chanel!

The pret-a-porter collection will be the same as couture in essence: I love luxury, beautiful products, handmade with care, but at more accessible prices.

For contemporary fashion, I'm a huge fan of so many of the people out there. I think Azzedine Alaia holds up through three generations of very specific, beautiful design. I think Jean Paul Gaultier also is very interesting with a long span.

For me, Chanel just makes sense - like a story or a film. It's part of my life.

I'm just in love with Burberry. Always have been, always will be.

It's important to celebrate the monogram. It's the DNA of Vuitton. I think - I hope - there is an interest in the philosophy and culture of the Vuitton name. It's quite coherent and intellectual, and the products are great. These are things you will want to pass on - things you treasure.

We will make La Perla a great international brand for beauty and feminine luxury.

If I could wear any label forever it would be Burberry. It covers a huge span of stuff. You can't go wrong with a classic trench and a pair of jeans.

I love the opportunity to get properly dressed up. I've worn three Lanvin dresses, and they've all been a dream. They're so well made, with the most beautiful craftsmanship. I don't tend to go with things that are ornate - just beautifully made pieces and some classic jewelry. Let the work speak for itself. I love that.

A bespoke shirt is one of the true luxuries that you can acquire. There's nothing better than a fitted shirt. Once you've picked up your first one, you'll never stop buying them - providing you can pay for it.
